Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor
- Moore Kingston Smith LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Over the course of the financial period the company has seen significant levels of commodity inflation. The company sought to recover this impact through a combination of higher selling prices and, in some cases, reduced product size. This market driven change has resulted in a fall in demand in the year with turnover decreasing to £27.0m from £29.9m over the last period.”
- “Exceptional costs in 2025 relate to organisation restructuring costs and one-off product change costs due to extreme commodity inflation. 2024 costs relate to corporate restructuring expenses.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
