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
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Nortons Assurance Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “Affco Europe Limited turnover in 2024-25 FY doubled YOY from £41m to £80m due to a number of factors both in UK and globally.”
- “The significant investment in sourcing imported proteins by UK supermarkets over the past 18 months has been the main factor driving growth.”
- “Global protein prices have risen significantly across the globe due to combined factors of increased demand and lower production.”
- “Specifically in the UK we've seen a drastic reduction in availability of UK and Irish beef and lamb which has significantly driven the pricing up on both, driving the demand for imported.”
- “Pricing continues to drive high globally also - currently NZ Farmers are receiving record returns for their lambs never seen before.”
- “We are also seeing an impact of the post-Brexit UK-NZ Free Trade Agreement and the duty-free access to UK market NZ Beef now enjoys.”
- “In this period we have signed an MOU with one major retail partner guaranteeing both parties a minimum volume of supply in each of the next 3 years.”
