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

- 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
- “The turnover of the company decreased in the year to £70 million (2024: £90 million), primarily driven by temporal factors that affected the market performance of a key customer.”
- “Historically, the outbreaks of disease have occurred in zones around the world, and once discovered the governing bodies contain the disease and limit the spread by placing travel embargos on the respective products.”
- “For the coming financial year 2025 2026, the Directors anticipate that the company will remain profitable. Management believes that the company has sufficient financial buffer to have confidence in the going concern of the business. With uncertainty continuing in the food service sector, the directors are actively managing the risk by focusing on minimising inventory and careful credit management.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
