Today, we're proud to be the largest independent retailer operating in the East of England. We provide food stores and specialist services, such as funerals, security, travel agents and petrol filling stations to communities across Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. With a significant property portfolio and other businesses, such as events and conference facilities and stonemasonry, we are a diverse and modern business.
