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

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have not identified any material uncertainties which would affect the ability of the company to continue to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. The directors have considered the impact of the ongoing effects of the cost of living crisis, inflationary pressures and the availability of raw materials on the business and are satisfied that these factors will not have a significant effect on their going concern assessment.”

Significant events

• “During the year, the company acquired 100% of Cullen Allen Limited.”
• “FY25 saw no respite in the excessively demanding operating conditions experienced in prior years, with ever mounting cost pressures continuing to be felt across all areas of the company and throughout the supply chain.”
• “The start of the year witnessed a shortage of the crop from the challenging 2023 harvest, brought about by extreme weather conditions, resulting in exceptionally high free market costs driven by the low availability.”
• “In contrast the 2024 harvest yielded strong volumes of potatoes, further compounded by UK growers exercising caution in light of prior years' shortages and planting higher volumes. The result has been a market wide oversupply of potatoes in 2024/25 year resulting in a softening of the trading market towards the end of the financial year.”
