A team leader at the Bradwell Foodstore has been appointed to a new role to help support communities across East Anglia.
Kym Hunt,25, has been named as a Central England Co-operative membership and community relations officer.
She accepted the job at the member-owned business to help fulfil her passions for educating youngsters and teaching people new skills.
It follows a decade working for the Co-operative, most recently as a team leader at the Bradwell Food Store.
She said: “I gained a passion for community while organising small events at store level and wanted to get involved more.
“I have seen how much more can be done in our local communities with a little personal touch - so when the opportunity came up I jumped at it.
“I want to encourage more people to become members and I would also like to spread co-operative values in a relatable way to younger people.”
