Company Information
Dignity plc. is one of flagship professional companies in United Kingdom funeral industry. Their business comprises three parts: funeral service, crematoria and pre-arranged funeral plans. (Dignity plc. 2011) In 2004, the group went public and started a new journey of development, and every year, company builds detailed financial statement to enclosure performance in this financial year.
Compared with Co-operative (CWS Ltd) group, which is organized by series of different businesses (Co-operative Group Limited Subsidiary Company/Organizations, 2011), Dignity runs its business in more independent and professional way, and CWS Ltd did not provide dependent financial statement. Furthermore, the market is fragmental, and other competitors exist as family directors, or united into the integrative competences, so Dignity should possess much more advantages than their competitors.
