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
“The directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Inflationary risk - The UK continues to experience inflationary pressures, driven by strong consumer demand, while challenges remain in the global supply chain.”
- “The approval of the above followed an in-depth review by the Board of proposals on capital allocation, capital investment outlook, funding, competitive outlook, operating expenses, EBITDA return %, and distributions.”
- “Over the course of the year, the Board discussed and approved several new opportunities and projects across the different segments. The Board focused on distribution and supply of products in various markets and continued this implementation strategy.”
- “Inflationary pressures exacerbated by the war in Ukraine have resulted in an increase to operating costs across the board. Despite there being a softening in energy prices, inflationary pressures still remain within the UK.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
