There is no one more influential in the UK cooperative sector than Mr. Reid
[edit]- There are numerous articles about fairly b-class sportspeople.
- There is an article about Ed Mayo, the current head of Cooperatives UK. He is mainly included because he is the head of Cooperatives UK. Ben Reid is a former head of Cooperatives UK.
- I added a mention of Ben Reids leadership of Cooperatives UK in the article

- @Leo Sammallahti:, if Reid is that important, then it shouldn't be too difficult to find sources providing significant independent coverage of his life in reliable sources. Of the sources currently listed, #1 is not independent, #2 and #4 are in a source of unclear reliability or independence, and #3 is a press release (not independent). I would be more quickly convinced of notability if you could find something significant in The Guardian, The Economist or Morning Star, among others. signed, Rosguill talk 06:44, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
I understand, I replaced three of the sources with sources from The Guardian.
