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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the Financial Statements, that the Company has adequate resource to continue trading for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In FY25 the product range was complemented by the introduction of five flavoured varieties of mayonnaise. Based on the success of these, three additional flavours have been developed for FY26.”
- “As well as flavoured mayonnaise, we have developed eleven new dressed salads for sale in FY26.”
- “In FY25 B2B sales were higher than the previous year from increased sales to existing customers but mainly from the addition of new customers.”
- “In September 2024 our invoice discounting facility provider was changed from Investec to Leumi ABL. This brought a larger facility and lower banking charges.”
- “In December the current account provider was changed from Lloyds PLC to Barclays PLC, further reducing bank charges.”
- “In FY26 the directors plan an increased level of capital expenditure. Part of this will be related to the replacement of assets but the greater element will be to improve our manufacturing processes, enabling greater production efficiencies and a reduction of energy costs.”
