Nisa Members Association
The independent grocery sector seems to be at a crossroads, with the inexorable rise of superstores mirrored by a decline of traditional independent businesses;
A key bulwark against this has been Nisa - the mutually owned and largest buying consortium for small traders in the UK - comprising almost 1,000 independent businesses with a turnover of billions, employing thousands of staff, giving local convenience stores the collective buying power to drive down costs and therefore prices for customers;
A group of shareholders - the Nisa Members Association (NMA) are concerned that there were those within NISA who were steering the company towards demutualisation with a view to a possible future flotation. This would have grave implications for the viability of these independent NISA businesses as the investment returns expected would drive up prices in the supply chain – making the independents less competitive and the multiples even more dominant;
TCC successfully worked with the NMA in a campaign to achieve Board representation at the company AGM on a platform of maintaining mutual status and modernizing the business.
