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
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Integra Accounting 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
- “Overall, the company has reported an increase in turnover of 7.17% in comparison to the previous year. The gross profit margin has decreased very slightly to 17.5% from 18.1% mainly due to sharp price increases during the latter part of the year. The company maintains a healthy cash position and results are considered good.”
- “The company faces challenges from global food price increases, tight margins on sales, and product availability. To counteract this, the company has increased the number of suppliers it works with, reducing reliance on any single source and enhancing its ability to negotiate more favourable pricing.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
