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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the members have a reasonable expectation that the limited liability partnership has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The members have based their assumption on forecasts through to 31 December 2026 together with support from the ultimate parent undertaking, Zurn Harvesting GmbH & Co Kg. Thus, the members continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements”

Significant events
- “In early 2024 the business implemented a restructure to match the cost base of the business to the soft market conditions, a second restructure was developed at the end of 2024 for implementation in 1st quarter 2025. Garford Farm Machinery Ltd also secured a technology licensing agreement in 2024 to enable participation in new weeding markets in 2025 and beyond.”
- “In the Statement of Financial Position, for the year ended 31 December 2023, intercompany loans have been reclassified on the basis that there is no formal and binding agreement relating to the repayment profile of the loans. The impact of this adjustment is to reclassify a balance of £3,715,679 from creditors due after more than one year to creditors due within one year in accordance with the terms of the loan.”
