- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe that preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate. The directors believe the company will have adequate financial resources for the foreseeable future after consideration of intergroup finance arrangements, forecast future profitability and positive cashflows, despite the impact COVID-19 has had on the business to date and expected into the future.”
Significant events
- “Sales grew by £4.988m to £80.025m (2023: £75.037m) representing a 6.6% increase. This growth was generated through increased seasonal business and a move towards more retail customers as foodservice dipped in 2024.”
- “Profit before tax in the year increased to £2.182m (2023: £2.102m) and net assets reduced to £8.886m following a group dividend distribution (2023: £19.180m).”
- “On the 27th December 2024, following a group restructure, the immediate and intermediate parent company was CPC Foods Limited.”

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
