The Co-operative Group

The Co-operative Group is the UK’s largest mutual business, owned not by private shareholders but by over seven million consumers.  It is the UK’s fifth biggest food retailer and a major financial services provider, operating The Co-operative Bank and The Co-operative Insurance.

Among its other businesses are the number one funeral services provider, the third largest pharmacy chain and one of Britain’s largest farming operations. As well as having clear financial and operational objectives, the Group has also set out its social and sustainability goals in its groundbreaking Ethical Plan, which specifies over 50 commitments in these areas. 

The Group operates 4,800 retail-trading outlets, employs more than 100,000 people and has an annual turnover of more than £13 billion.  

The Co-operative Group in Wales

The Co-operative Group has recently celebrated 150 years of trading in Wales and with a turnover of £600 million, almost 400 stores and branches and 500,000 members, it is now one of the largest businesses operating in Wales.

“The new stores will be packed with modern and interesting meal ideas reflecting local people’s love of good food. We look forward to welcoming customers into our Pierhead Street store before the end of the year, and into our improved store for Llandaff North in 2013.” Julian added.
