- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, reflecting the Directors' belief that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Despite historical trading challenges, the Company continues to receive financial support from the Cloetta Group, which is expected to remain in place for at least the next 12 months from the signing of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “While the Wilko collapse represented a significant disruption, the business responded swiftly and effectively. Though challenges remain, they are not expected to have a material impact going forward.”
- “The actions taken and their subsequent impact made 2024 a necessary reset year. While we acknowledge the loss of momentum in our development journey, the business has since realigned and is now firmly back on track.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
