We know that you are doing an incredible job, going above and beyond to help our members, customers and fellow colleagues, whilst adapting to this ever-changing and challenging time.
We want to share your stories of giving a thumbs up with other colleagues to keep morale high and to show that as co-operators we’re all in this together as team Midcounties. ‘Thumbs Up’ is our way of celebrating all your heroic efforts by sharing your great work and giving other colleagues the ability to like it.
Our Thumbs Up Weekly Round Up 👍
Well done to Bewdley Co-op Food for supporting the local community 👍
A customer thank you for the Bourton-on-the-water Food store 😊
Wonderful Staff - Great Job
"I am writing to tell you what a wonderful job the staff are doing at Cinderford Co-op during this awful time. They are putting themselves and their family at risk to serve us yet are still faced at times with awful abuse. I witnessed such abuse from an elderly man today. His behaviour was uncalled for and embarrassing. He really was vile. Yet staff dealt with it professionally and politely. They should not have to put up with such attacks. Sadly, I do not expect this was an isolated incident. I and my family are truly grateful to all the staff and wish they could all be rewarded when this awful situation is over. Thank you, Cinderford Co-op you are very much appreciated."

"Amanda served me with a lovely smile, very friendly and was kind enough to help me with my parcel as it was coming undone. I went into Oakengates last week and she served me there as well, it is nice to see that the girls are supporting each other in this current pandemic."
How you can get involved
We want you to share a picture of yourself and/or your team with your thumbs up and include a sentence outlining why you’ve given yourself, your team or a team member a ‘thumbs up’ today, along with the hashtag #TeamMC.
E.g. it could be some great customer feedback you’ve had for going above and beyond. Or something you’ve done to help the community that they’re proud of. Or just that the team is Okay.
To note: please take care of social distancing for pictures together as we are also following guidelines on this and hope you are too!
You can share these either on your group's Facebook groups or by simply sending it to thumbsup@midcounties.coop
We will be posting a daily Thumbs Up montage on the homepage of Colleagues Connect, so remember to log on and be reminded of what makes our Society so great – your colleagues. You can also take the chance to give them a pat on the back yourself by commenting on the post.

Don’t forget if you have any great pictures or videos post them on your Facebook group or email them to us at thumbsup@midcounties.coop
If you would not like your information shown above, please let us know at Communications@midcounties.coop stating your full name and we will remove as soon as we can.
