Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have reviewed financial forecasts for the 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading conditions. In addition, the company has identified a number of mitigating actions that are within management's control and can be actioned on a timely basis to be effective should trading deteriorate, including support from Bamford Property Limited, and are therefore satisfied that there is no material uncertainty. Accordingly, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The positive market conditions referred to in the 2023 report continued in 2024 with the UK organic market growing by 7.3% according to the Soil Association Organic Market Report 2025.”
• “The increased prices for energy, fuel and feed combined with increased costs of labour have made performance in 2024 challenging but hopefully price inflation is easing and performance will improve in 2025.”

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
