- Musselburgh and Fisherrow Co-operative Society Limited (M&F Co-op) was a retail consumer co-operative trading in the Scottish towns of Musselburgh and Dalkeith. It was founded as a co-operative in 1862, and, in 2007, joined the small number of UK co-operative retailers to demutualise. In the years immediately prior to demutualising, M&F Co-op ran a funeral business, a food shop and department store in Musselburgh, and also invested in commercial property, including shops and a leisure complex at Fisherrow harbour. It converted into a private company limited by shares called M & F (Scotland) Limited. (en)

- '''Demutualisation of UK co-operatives
Demutualisation of a co-operative is sometimes known as conversion or privatization, and involves the consumer members surrendering their “one member one vote” democratic control of the business, in exchange for a windfall of cash, or shares of a joint stock company.
The stock company acquires control of the business, and ownership of its assets.
The most notable demutualization plan of a UK retail co-operative was the 1997 failed hostile takeover bid for the Co-operative Wholesale Society by Andrew Regan.
A number of the UK's agricultural supply co-operatives that engage in retailing demutualized successfully in the late 20th century. (en)
