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 opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 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.”
Group structure
- FLEMING AGRI LTD · parent
- Fleming Agri-Products Limited 100%
- Fleming Holdco Limited 100%
- Fleming Agri Machinery Irl. Limited 100%
Significant events
- “The introduction of plasma and laser cutting technology has significantly improved the group's metal preparation process.”
- “With a new steel store opening in spring 2025, the group will be better positioned to manage material costs through strategic purchasing”
- “The in-house training and welding academy, along with support from North West Regional College, helps maintain a stable workforce and reduces staffing challenges.”
- “To address this, the group has outsourced a significant portion of low-value subassemblies to third-party subcontractors, both locally and abroad.”
- “The introduction of a trailing shoe in autumn 2024, along with a pending dribble bar attachment in early spring, has provided a platform for the group's expansion into LESSE (Low Emission Slurry Spreading Equipment).”
- “Rolling stock upgrades are planned for 2025, including a new lorry and several forklift trucks, all of which have been ordered.”
- “Marketing efforts will focus on attending major agricultural shows across the UK and Ireland in 2025 to promote both the existing product range and the recently launched Low Emissions Slurry Spreading Equipment (LESSE).”
- “The continued uncertainty caused by war in the middle east and Ukraine continues to pose a significant risk to global energy costs. Additionally, the potential imposition of tariffs under a possible Trump administration in 2025, along with continuing uncertainty around Chinese influence in global markets, remains a cause for concern.”
