We are now a business to rival any other on the high street and not just because of our size.
Approaching 6 million members, more than 110,000 colleagues, over 5,000 retail trading outlets and £13.7 billion turnover - and growing.
We have a vast range of businesses, including food, farms, pharmacy, financial services, motor dealerships, online electricals and funerals, providing millions of people with products and services of consistent quality and value.
At the very heart of our business is our ethical foundation. We are a co-operative, and that means that we are in business for a reason: for the good of our customers and members, for the benefit of the community and the wider world. While some retailers may be showing their corporate conscience today, our ethical beliefs and social agenda have always been fundamental to our business ever since we were founded in 1844.
Over the last few years we have embarked on a period of reinvention and change that is driving the shape and success of our business. Our brand reflects our heritage in a fresh and modern way. Our outlets are being updated, and we are winning awards right across our business.
Within the community, we are leading the campaign on the high street on important issues, such as tackling crime and reducing youth offending. We are winning over more and more customers and members. We are growing our business and our profits, and that is benefiting everyone.
