Hats the way to become a global brand

Laura Chan, of the Scotmid co-operative in South Queensferry, had her best Australian hat on to mark the start of the International Year of Co-operation. Staff wore hats of many nations – from a Turkish fez to a US cowboy hat – and pieced together a giant global jigsaw to celebrate co-operation.

The United Nations celebratory year provides the opportunity for the one billion co-operators across the world to highlight how co-operation builds a better world.
