About Us

The Strood Green Shop Association Limited

 

Authorised by the Financial Services Authority Reg. No. 30434R

The management committee and staff

The Shop at Strood Green is run by a committee of volunteers. Many other people in the local area  support the shop voluntarily, either by working shifts in the shop or by working behind the scenes in a variety of roles.  Jane Holmes, one of the original committee members who worked to establish the shop, is one of two full-time managers, and the shop benefits from her outstanding customer service background, local knowledge and her total commitment to the project. She shares the running of the shop with manager Christine Nolan, who has brought to the project a fantastic amount of catering experience and is an organiser extraordinaire! The two managers cover the almost-80 hours the shop is open, and are ably assisted by a team of part-time members of staff and volunteers.

We are a registered Industrial and Provident Society and the management committee (maximum eight members) is appointed annually at its AGM by the shareholders of the Association (currently numbering approx 450).

Current committee:

Clare Wilson, Secretary

Chris Trodd, Chairman

Fiona Patteson-Knight, Treasurer

David Klamm

Jane Holmes

Darren Flashman

Linda Slater

This committee was formally appointed at SGSA's third AGM in June 2011 by the shareholder vote.
