Rochdale Pioneers Museum

We were invited to the official launch of the revamped 'Rochdale Pioneers Museum' on Toad Lane in Rochdale, with the reception held at the gorgeous nearby St Mary in the Baum church. The museum celebrates some of the earliest Co-operators, and Rochdale is considered by many to be the home of Co-operatives.

We made a short animated film about the story of the Pioneers, and were delighted to see that some of our designs from the film had been used to create a backdrop for the speeches. On the right is a screenshot of me as an animated narrator to the film - as Rocky from Rochdale! It was exciting to watch as Co-operators from all around the world posed in front of the display, and so see some of our designs in the booklet and in the museum itself.

It was a really fantastic night all round, and we were really chuffed to be invited and be part of such an exciting event.
