- 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
- “The company has taken the decision to close the Brighton operation, effective January 2026, and transition the entire Southeast operation to Tapin 3PL logistics.”
- “The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for packaging advanced, with base fees confirmed in June 2025 and the first invoices due in October 2025.”
- “In 2026, we will launch a 3.4% lager from Ambar Brewery (Zaragoza, Spain).”
- “In 2025/26 we will launch a range of premium keg wines.”

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
