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

- Barnes Roffe Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In FY24/25, Chilly's strengthened its sustainability mission to accelerate the everyday use of reusables.”
- “For Plastic Free July 2025, a campaign featuring a poem by Maureen Onwunali focused on reusables and in-store posters with wholesale partners to raise awareness around reducing single-use plastics was launched.”
- “Continuing our work with Glastonbury Festival as Official Refill Partner, Chilly's delivered 39,340 water refills, a 42.1% increase from the prior year.”
- “Two charity partnerships supporting youth access to music were launched: Roundhouse's Resident Artist Programme and Studio 36, helping young people create and perform music.”
- “On the product side, Chilly's introduced our Big Mouth (2L & 4L) bottles with improved insulation and lower material impact. A reduction of direct product packaging by 90% by transitioning from tubes to paper wraps and bags, surpassing one million products made from 90% post-consumer recycled stainless steel.”
- “Finally, 86.5% of employees integrated sustainability goals into their development plans, reinforcing environmental responsibility across the business.”
