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

Going concern

Affirmed

“These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. After reviewing the group's forecasts, projections and post year end results, and having regard to the group's financial commitments, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to service its debt and to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Group continues to upgrade its poultry farming operations by reaching new agreements for the supply of contract grown chicken. The next phase will begin from April 2026.”
• “The Group has a strong order book for construction work, although delays in obtaining planning permissions remain a concern on a number of projects, despite no obvious issues with the proposed developments.”
• “The delays experienced in planning permissions over the past 5 years continue to limit the Group's ability to support our customers in delivering modern, high welfare poultry housing.”
• “Whilst 2024/25 saw limited cases of avian influenza, this remains a significant risk to the Group and the wider industry.”
• “Health and safety is a continual focus for the Group. Acting as principal contractor on the majority of contracts presents a number of challenges which must be carefully managed to ensure the safety of our employees and others operating on our sites.”
