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

- SMH Jolliffe Cork Audit Ltd
- 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
- “Grocery sales decreased on a like for like basis (-1.69%), primarily impacted by the 5-month refurbishment of the company's largest supermarket in Newby, Scarborough.”
- “The directors undertook a significant program of works to refurbish the groups largest 15,000sqft supermarket, with works commencing in September 2024. Although the refurbishment significantly impacted the company's overall performance, we are pleased to report that the completed works have been successful and have delivered the envisioned and improved store planned.”
- “During the calendar year of 2024, Proudfoot donated £30,100 to 47 local organisations via it's Making A Difference Locally Charity.”
- “Since the carrier bag charge was introduced, the company through the continued support of its customers have been able to raise and donate over £90,000 to date.”
- “During 2024, £18,000 worth of food was donated to two local food banks (split 50/50 between The Rainbow Centre, Scarborough and Westway Open Arms, Eastfield), with support from the group's carrier bag fund.”
