Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”

Significant events

• “Over the past year, the integration of the business within Griffith Foods European framework has been further consolidated. We successfully aligned our IT business solutions, significantly enhancing data consistency and operational efficiency across all units. Our product portfolio has been refined to achieve strong complementarity with other Griffith Foods businesses, enabling us to offer customers a more comprehensive and innovative range.”
• “Throughout the year, our emphasis has been on simplifying processes, reducing complexity, and optimising operations to support sustainable growth. Inflationary pressures in raw materials, labour and distribution costs have persisted during the year. Nevertheless, the company has maintained profitability and implemented effective strategies to mitigate the impact of these cost pressures.”
• “Availability of commodities such as dairy products and other raw materials, with associated price inflation. This has arisen predominantly as a result of the war in Ukraine together with adverse climate conditions in key supply regions around the world.”
• “Challenging labour availability in the UK post-Brexit and its impact on operational capacity.”
• “Significant energy cost inflation as a result of market conditions.”
• “Cost of living crisis in the UK and its impact on retail market demand for the Value-Added products sold by the Company. We did see improvements on inflation and the Value-Added products towards the end of the year.”

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
