Significant events
- “recapitalisation in the prior year of £56,000,000 which increased the share capital and decreased the loans payable to Group entities, and has resulted in a lower interest cost in the current year.”
- “On 4 May 2020 Bruichladdich became a B-Corp certified Company and recertified in 2023.”
- “For the year ended 31 March 2024 an impairment to fixed assets of £545,172 was made in relation to bottling equipment likely to become obsolete in the following financial year due to the decision to move from two bottling lines to one. Most of these assets were disposed of in the year to 31 March 2025.”
- “In the year to 31 March 2024 the decision was made to streamline the bottling process, reducing the number of bottling lines from 2 to 1. The provision comprises largely fixed asset decommissioning costs, storage costs and some staff redundancies. The majority of this provision has been used in the year.”
