- 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 group's and the parent 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
- “Following the corporate restructuring completed in July 2020, which eliminated legacy debt and introduced Compass Group as sole shareholder, the Group entered 2025 with a clear strategic mandate: to restore operational stability, rebuild supply chain resilience, and improve long-term profitability following the closure of its Chinese operations in 2024. During 2025, the Group secured additional funding to support working capital requirements during the recovery phase.”
