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.

Audit opinion

Qualified

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “In recent years Devonshire Poultry has undergone extensive expansion. It started in earnest in 2022 with major refurbishment at Little Westcott. We refurbished/built new 54,000 sq ft of poultry buildings and improved farm staff facilities/offices, including a dedicated vet's postmortem room.”
• “Not long after finishing the above improvements we gained planning permission to redevelop one of our Wiltshire sites with an additional 96,000sq ft of Poultry Buildings, Storage Building and Staff Welfare Veterinary buildings. The work was started in November 2023 with the demolition of the then existing derelict buildings. In January 2024 ground works started and the 5 new sheds filled with chicks in November 2024.”
• “In December 2023 we purchased another site in Wiltshire, 82,000 sq ft and Farmhouse with the aim of doing a gradual improvement program during 2024/2025.”
• “In early 2024 the market was poor due to inflationary costs not being reflected in our payments. However during the year gradual price increases were received and this has continued into 2025 due to stocking density changes causing shortages in the market place.”
• “Devonshire Poultry learnt lessons from the energy crisis in February 2022 and have invested heavily in Solar Panels during the 2023 and 2024 financial year and into the 2025 year. This has made us 40% self sufficient on our farms and aided a reduction in our carbon footprint.”
• “Looking forward into 2025 Devonshire Poultry will undergo a period of consolidation before pushing forward for further expansion.”
