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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's financial information for the year ended 31st December 2024 and for the quarter ended 31st March 2025, forecasts for 31st December 2025 and longer-term plan to 2026, along with the continued support by the group, it has been deemed a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future being no less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. With the continuing concerns around consumption and the wider performance of the UK economy the directors recognise that there could be adverse changes in UK food market and retailer performance and this could adversely affect the results and cash flows of the company. This is being managed by continued focus on the plan for growth and diversification to meet changing customer and end-consumer needs. Continual review of the company's realised sales figures, margins and forecasts aids the effort to gain new supply contracts and ensure that existing contracts continue in the foreseeable future. The directors have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw the introduction of a product range in more recyclable packaging than the competition and usually requiring to be imported. This is important not only to grow the local activity but also in light of the increasing cost of packaging taxes.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
