Going concern

Affirmed

“In 2024, the ongoing challenges from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting higher commodity prices persisted. These factors impacted the broader economy, leading to softer consumer demand. Despite this, the business is well-positioned to remain profitable through new product development opportunities and strong cost control measures, supporting future growth plans.”

Significant events

• “Our programme of investment has continued in the year across both our Milton Keynes and Bedford bakeries to enhance the efficiency of the sites to help make us more resistant to market cost pressures and improve the quality of our products, always with a strong focus on safety. We effectively managed inflationary pressures during the year through strategic pricing adjustments and robust cost control measures.”
• “Management has assessed the level of interaction with all key stakeholders and is satisfied that the engagement and decisions taken is adequate.”
• “At Lantmannen we understand the immense importance of sustainability and a clean environment with focus on delivering more food to the table whilst minimising the impact on our planet. That is why Lantmannen Unibake UK has taken the decision to electrify all of its company car fleet.”
• “In October 2023, a fatal accident occurred involving an external contractor, which is under external investigation. As at the date of these financial statements, the company has not been found liable for any breaches of health and safety legislation, nor have any claims or fines been levied. However the directors have considered it prudent to retain a provision of £2m to reflect potential costs associated with this matter.”

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
