Co-op Wholesale’s Head of Retail, Taranjit Singh Dhillon, has been appointed as a trustee of Making a Difference Locally (MADL).
Dhillon joined Co-op Wholesale as Head of Retail in September 2024, following his tenure at One Stop. His dedication to community engagement has been evident throughout his career, most recently through his support in bringing Nisa symbol store retailers and the local community together to serve hot meals to vulnerable individuals in Warrington. This initiative embodied the Sikh tradition of Langar – a practice centred around equality, humility, and service to others.
Kate Carroll, Social Value Lead for Co-op Wholesale, said: “We are delighted to have Taranjit join the board of trustees for Making a Difference Locally. His passion for community initiatives and deep understanding of retail will be invaluable as we continue to expand the charity’s impact. His leadership and hands-on approach to supporting local causes align perfectly with MADL’s mission.”
Dhillon joins a valued panel of trustees who oversee the charity’s operations and ensure funds are distributed effectively. The current trustees include David Luckin, Head of Community Impact and Partnerships at Co-op (Chair); Mike Gisby and Kim Clarkson from Co-op Wholesale; Mike Sohal, Nisa Dallam independent retailer; Valerie Aston, Director at Proudfoot Group; Duncan Batty, Independent; and Tania Hardcastle, Independent.
