Brodsky Speaks About Co-Ops at UK Retailing Conference

Manchester, NH, March 10, 2017—Howard Brodsky, co-founder and co-CEO of CCA Global, traveled to the United Kingdom this week to give the keynote address to European business leaders at one of the major retailing events in Europe. Brodsky was the only speaker from the United States to address the conference.

Brodsky’s presentation focused on the cooperative retail powerhouse he co-founded and established in 1984, CCA Global Partners. Through shared insights from over 30 years of successful business, Brodsky helped conference attendees find ways they can grow and improve their own companies.

“With Brexit looming over the UK, and political uncertainty across much of Europe, you must not be complacent. You must continually innovate to grow,” Brodsky warned during the keynote, adding that “future success will necessitate taking smarter risks.”

In addition to sharing his story and perspective with the international attendees, Brodsky discussed his newest initiative, Cooperatives for a Better World, a non-profit that promotes the cooperative business model as a mode of sustainable job and wealth creation. According to the International Cooperative Alliance, the cooperative business model is proven to empower individuals and gives more people ownership in the businesses they use every day.
