“For the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company made a profit after tax for the year of £5,792,000 and at 31 December 2024 the Company had net assets at that date of £22,687,000. The Company's turnover increased from the prior year as the retail channel outperformed the market coupled with the strengthening of the on-trade. The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis due to strong cash flow and positive financial performance in 2025 to date which is supported by its projected cash flows for the 12 months from signing this report.”
Significant events
- “2024 was a challenging year in the marketplace driven by shifting consumer attitudes and trends, leading to an ever-changing environment. Overall consumption declined in the market with consumer disposable income challenged by cost of living. As a result, competitor pricing intensity was extremely high, especially during the peak trading periods, driving down value and encouraged shopper switching. Despite these pressures the Proximo portfolio managed to outperform the market once again and grew market share in all channels of trade.”

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
