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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company continued to generate significant operating cash flows and continued to increase operations year-on-year. Despite this, the balance sheet as at 31 December 2024 shows a net current liability position of £5,451,399. Having considered all the relevant facts the director considers it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The Company achieved a significant increase in turnover to £86.7m (2023: £72.0m), primarily due to the acquisition of 2 new stores and a full year of trading in 2024 on 4 new stores.”
• “Gross profit margin improved by 1.54% as food cost inflation stabilised and selling prices were adjusted.”
• “The number of sites contributing to this report has increased from 17 in 2023 to 18 in 2024.”
• “A change in the market-based methodology led to an increase in electricity emissions under the market-based methodology. In FY23, all electricity consumption was considered renewable, whereas in FY24, only meters where electricity is supplied by Npower are considered renewable.”
• “Improved refrigerant leak data capture from suppliers compared to the prior year, which has been confirmed by the Franchisor, has led to an increase in emissions associated with refrigerants.”
