Significant events

• “The group continues to trade with twelve sales outlets throughout the West Midlands conurbation.”
• “Net profit before taxation was £0.53m (2023 - £0.57m).”
• “The group net worth has increased to £4.42m (2023 - £4.35m).”
• “During the year and since the year end, the company has battled with increasing overhead costs as a result of the current economic position. Due to the company being a pizza franchise they are limited to the scope in which their sales prices can be increased. This has resulted in a negative effect on profitability.”

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
