indicators in relation to financial growth, financial sustainability and financial
performance:
Greencore Group Plc: The organisation's ambition to boost demands in the rapidly growing food
market/industry relies on two principal facets: widening its brand offering and enabling
consumers to buy more. The organization's strategy is to progressively strengthen their relevance
to clients by driving income through a shared value chain, increasing values through their
portfolios and making life easier for their clients. The accomplishment of the Organization's
strategic goal depends on four central features: better quality Foods, Core individuals/groups,
Greencore Credibility and Sustainability Corporation. A massive and capable undertaking
characterised by a shared dedication to performing business labelled Greencore Route, is needed
to execute this strategy (Bamber and Parry, 2014).
Hilton Food Group Plc: Company has long been an innovative enterprise with sound values. The
credibility of the organization for success is what draws their clients. And their confidence in
long-term relationships has furled our success internationally. The corporation's mission is to
ensure that company's retail partners succeed over their rivals. The aim of the Organization as a
corporation is focused on Absolute Collaboration. Corporation's dedication, energy and
willingness to do whatever can to help company's partners succeed. One plan, one goal, one
shared vision. The people of organization are at forefront of everything company do. The culture
of the business has always unique and important. The principles of the corporation describe the
forms they think of ourselves as an entity and the manner they function as individuals. Business

staff work as collaborators supporting partners, based on common agendas and agreed priorities.
These behaviours are the core to our society and keys to their growth in business.
Premier Foods Plc: The objective of the business assures them of what they have to do here-
create fantastic food which their customers enjoy, food which is delicious, simple to cook and
accessible in versatile formats. This is why consumers find their labels in 94percent of the
overall of British families. Business is supportive of its famous brands and fantastic goods, and
their aim is to demonstrate how organization food is at core of how well a collaborator does each
day. Business is dedicated to building a genuinely Wonderful Place of Work. Company's mutual
principles provide people with a collective basis for decision making and helps direct them
in way they do things, as well as challenge one another to embody them with each day. Over the
