“The company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company made a loss in the year mainly due to operating at a volume level below break even. The intermediate parent company, Ballingslöv International AB, have indicated their ongoing willingness to provide financial support to the company as required, for at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. On this basis and considering the ability of Ballingslöv International AB to provide this support as detailed below, the directors of the company are confident that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events

- “During the year there was a £980K contribution towards the pension deficit (2023: £1m).”
- “On 3 April 2025 the company signed the deed of release for a £3 million charge that was held over the property following a payment of £1 million being made.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
