- 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 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.”
Significant events
- “Following a purposeful emphasis on profitable growth in the first half of 2025, in the second half of FY25, the company repositionec its brand and increased investment in new marketing channels. Enhancements were also made to both the product offering and customer experience for subscribers, alongside the rollout and growth of retail distribution channels. These initiatives have led to a significant acceleration in revenue growth post year-end.”
- “We are the only pet food company to have achieved both Rawsafe accreditation, the highest standard available in our sector, and UK Pet Food certified. We were honoured to win "Manufacturer of the Year" at the UK Pet Industry Federation awards in November 2023.”
