Going concern

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 external pressures of 2023 continued into 2024 predominately impacting middle market brands. By the half year the lower value products started to benefit from the mid-market pressures as consumers switched to cheaper goods.”
• “The pressure on disposal income continued despite the election of a new labour government in July 2024. The new governments budget in October caused a serious downturn in confidence as businesses braced themselves for new taxes which would increase the cost of operations, and in turn impact consumers. Supply chain disruptions eased towards the end of 2024 but remains volatile.”

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
