Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors consider that the Group has sufficient available financial resources to continue as a going concern and that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Geo-political instability has continued to pose operational and cost challenges to be managed but does not change our overall assessment on going concern. Aston Manor Limited continues to trade and remains financially healthy.”

Significant events

• “Trading conditions in 2024 were again challenging. A combination of very poor weather which depressed market volumes and further inflationary pressure on input costs made for a difficult year.”
• “Significant cost pressure was again experienced in 2024 reflecting both inflation and global volatility which impacts on global supply chains.”
• “maintained a high level of capital investment during the year which continued to extend our capabilities and flexibility. It also supported our participation in certain market sectors and delivered greater sustainability predominantly through the removal of our boilers at Tiverton which have been replaced by a state-of-the-art CHP system which will reduce our carbon emissions on site by greater than 50%.”
• “successfully undertook a major systems upgrade in Q1 of 2024 converting our SAP ECC system to the SAP S/4 Hana platform.”
• “Plans for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) across the UK continue to be shrouded in uncertainty and we will incur significant extra costs in 2025 as a result of this legislation.”
• “The Chancellors Autumn budget increased the cost burden on all businesses with significant increases in employer national insurance contributions and national minimum wage effective in April 2025.”
• “The total capital expenditure for the year was £5.3m, with a focus on delivering capacity and capability improvements at our production sites and at the Cider Mill. For 2025, circa £4m has been earmarked for capital projects.”
• “UK cider market declined in 2024, the weather was unseasonally cold and wet through the Spring and most of the Summer which had an inevitable poor impact on consumer demand.”

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
