        <p>CoTech is a network of ethical co-operatives providing technology, digital and creative services.</p>
        <p>Working with co-operatives has major benefits: you’ll work directly with the people who own the business, who have a stake in making sure your project succeeds. With no private shareholders drawing out dividends, you’ll get genuine value for money.  And on top of that, you’ll get the benefit of working with small and responsive businesses which draw on the skills, specialisms and security of a large network.</p>
        <p>Browse our co-operatives and services or get in touch if you’d like us to help you find the right co-op partner.</p>
        <p>If you’re a tech co-op or a co-operatively minded freelancer and you’d like to <a href="/join">join us</a>.</p>
