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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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

• “2024 was a very challenging year for the Food Service industry as well as the wider economy.”
• “The impacts of Coronavirus are still being felt across the business, albeit less than in previous years, which had an impact on the supply chain of our business, as our suppliers were having some difficulties in procuring component parts to build their products.”
• “The wars between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, has continued to have a major impact in the world, particularly with the substantial increase in inflation due to the significant price increases in utilities, goods, and services and goods traffic flow.”
• “UK base Interest rates have decreased through the year from a start point of 5.25% in January to 4.75% by the end of December”
• “Sterling was very volatile throughout the year. Against the US Dollar reaching the highest rate of 1.3426 at the end of Sept 24 and reaching its lowest rate of 1.2350 in April and ending the year at 1.2548. Against the Euro the lowest point in the year was at 1.1592 in April, with the highest point of 1.2150 in December, ending the year at 1.2059.”
