- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have reviewed the Company's forecasts and projections, which take into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, and are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “A major development during the year was the acquisition of a controlling stake by Piper PE LLP, a UK-based private equity firm specialising in high-growth consumer brands. The investment was completed in April 2025 through the creation of a new holding company called Project Eric Buyer Ltd with the founding shareholders retaining a stake in this new vehicle. This partnership is expected to accelerate expansion plans, strengthen management oversight, and introduce institutional experience into the business.”

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
