Suma is the trading name of the Triangle Wholefoods Collective Ltd, a worker co-operative incorporated as an industrial and provident society. It was founded in Leeds in 1977 and is now based in Elland, West Yorkshire. It is the largest independent wholefood wholesaler in the United Kingdom. The co-operative specializes in vegetarian, fairly traded, organic, ethical, ecological and natural products.
Its turnover for the year ending September 2015 was reported as £40 million, ranking it 49th among British co-operatives. Sales have doubled over the past decade.
Despite its trading volume, it is notable for being Britain's largest collectively organised co-operative, in that it avoids hierarchy and practices equal pay and job rotation despite having 160 employee owners.
