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 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 group's and the parent 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.”
Group structure
- GREENCROFT MILK SUPPLIES LIMITED · parent
- North Lakes Foods Limited 100%
- B & S (Rentals) Limited 100%
Significant events
- “Despite a further marked increase in the NLW (with a further increase coming in April 2025 along with an employer's NI increase) a shortage of quality labour remained a factor but once more reflected an aspect seen across the entire economy.”
- “The benefits of strategic alliances made with other North East based operators in the milk sector continue, in both increasing sales and reduced overhead costs.”
- “The group has demonstrated a sustained commitment to growth and operational efficiency by continuing to invest in fixed assets which has increased the groups hire purchase liability.”
