Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Whilst, as a whole, prices were lower across the 2024/25 Financial Year than the previous year, we experienced price inflation in three of the financial quarters, most notably on Frozen at Sea Fish where prices increased by almost 20% across the year. Ongoing reduction in quotas of Barents Sea Cod further squeezed supply in 2025 with prices continuing to rise with record high prices experienced in each quarter from April 2025 onwards.”
• “During the year, the business invested £1.3m in additions to assets, all of which was financed out of working capital. There are plans for additional investments in capital projects and system upgrades to further enhance efficiency and service levels and to facilitate future growth.”

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
