Significant events
- “Gosh! experienced a 2% sales increase in 2024, with some areas of the business delivering healthy growth and market outperformance. In Grocery (including the likes of Tesco and Sainsburys), Gosh posted significant double digit market share gains in our core bites and falafels market. This growth has been achieved by a combination of increased distribution, innovation and improved rate of sales performance linked to our successful summer marketing campaign. B2B, albeit our smallest channel, also grew at double digit rate as a consequence of new business wins.”
- “The company made a loss in the year as it continues to invest in both the business and the brand, with the support and full backing of Sonae Group.”

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
