Significant events
- “2024/25 saw circa 8% growth in the volume of labelled products, with double digit growth reported for both tuna (30%) and salmon (15%). The growth in royalty was, however, less impressive at circa 3% as a result of being depressed by the weakening of GBP over the year against the Euro and the US Dollar as well as by the likely downward readjustment of sales prices following the post-covid period of high inflation.”

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
