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

“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

• “May 2025 saw the launch of our purpose-built "Simply Cookhouse", a state-of-the-art facility enabling in-house preparation of pasta, grains, and vegetables.”
• “Continued to strengthen customer and team engagement through targeted events and immersive experiences. Building on the success of our Innovation Lounge, launched last year as a retail-style space to showcase new product ideas, we enhanced customer relationships through co-creation and direct feedback.”
• “Significant progress was made in our sustainability strategy, with initiatives focused on people, operations, community, and products. We reinforced our ESG commitments across plastic reduction, emission transparency and community partnerships. We continued our partnership with regenerative farming experts Wildfarmed, first launched last year, to supply flour for our product ranges. We also partnered with My Emissions for full Scope 3 reporting across our product range, supporting our goal of being NetZero by 2035.”
• “Community engagement was strengthened through long standing and new partnerships. We maintained our 30-year partnership with the local homeless charity, Croydon Nightwatch, providing daily food products and clothing donations. We also supported The Felix Project and Meals and More, contributing food to vulnerable communities. In December, we donated over £4,600 to the charity as part of our "Spirit of Giving" Christmas campaign in collaboration with Quorn.”
• “In July 2025, we launched refreshed company values to align our culture with strategic ambitions and reinforce our commitment to people, quality, and sustainability.”
• “In August 2025, we will relaunch our core Simply Lunch brand with a refreshed visual identity and packaging to reflect our values and future direction and will create the foundation for growth in the years ahead. We are also excited about some new strategic customer relationships we are starting to build which will also support future growth.”
