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

• “From January 2025, two business units named Optical Sorting and Rice Solutions merged to become one business named Sorting and Rice under the Grains and Food Division.”
• “The new innovation centre at Bühler UK Limited was built to create a space for innovation. Customer visits have increased so much since the launch of the innovation centre in 2020 and the feedback has been great.”
• “The Wildlife Biodiversity Group (WBG) activities dropped in 2024 due to some of our keenest wildlife enthusiasts departing the Company.”
• “The Scheme completed a buy-in with an insurance provider during the year, enabled by a £2.688m contribution paid by the company.”

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
