RESEARCH FIELDWORK MANAGER
NOMINATED BY
JOHN APPLETON
PERSONAL STATEMENT
My name is Lynda Robertson and I’ve lived here with my husband since 1993. I’ve two
children and two grandchildren (so far!).
I started my working life helping in the family Spar corner shop in Cornwall. I’ve always
been a believer in shopping locally and think that ‘Radco’ gives is the best of both
worlds; the intimacy of the local store with the range you would find in the larger
nationals.
So why do I want to be a Director? I would like to use the experience I’ve gained over
the years to help further the aims and principles of the Radstock Co-operative Society;
specifically securing the jobs of the current employees, providing more jobs for local
people and supplying the living needs of the families within the areas around each of
the branches.
