"2025 marks a global celebration of the strength of co-operation. Across this edition, you’ll see how that spirit lives in everything we do." Karen Scott
It’s a pleasure to welcome you to this new digital chapter of Jigsaw Magazine. As Society President, I often reflect on the journey we’ve taken together—how Scotmid has grown, adapted, and remained true to our co-operative principles. That feels especially relevant as we mark the International Year of Co-operatives 2025. This year is a celebration of how people can power lasting change. That’s something I see every day in our members, colleagues and customers—those who give their time to volunteering, support local initiatives, and keep co-operation at the heart of our communities. This magazine is a snapshot of those values in action. It’s also a reminder that our strength lies not just in what we do, but in how we do it— together in co-operation. It’s clear that when people come together, great things happen. Thank you for your continued support and for helping Scotmid stay rooted in purpose. Best wishes, Eddie
Moving to a digital format is a meaningful step for our Society—helping us reduce waste, improve accessibility, and stay connected in ways that reflect our co-operative values. This change comes at a particularly fitting moment, as 2025 marks the International Year of Co-operatives—a global celebration of the power of working together. Throughout this edition, you’ll see how that spirit of co-operation continues to guide and strengthen everything we do. That spirit has been especially evident in recent weeks, as we responded to the challenges caused by the Coop Group cyber attack and its knock-on effect on stock availability in our stores. I want to acknowledge any concern this may have caused and sincerely thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. While our systems were not compromised, the incident had a significant impact on our supply chain and trading. I’m pleased to report that our operations are now returning to normal.
Special mention must be made of our central and store colleagues for their resilience, hard work, and commitment during this challenging period. I’d also like to express my heartfelt thanks to our members and customers for your patience, understanding, and loyalty throughout.
