Significant events
- “2024 proved to be a challenging year for Calbee Group UK driven mainly by a delay in a large capacity expansion project at the Bradford site and ongoing cost pressures.”
- “At the back end of 2024, we also took steps to strengthen the senior team as we ready ourselves for our next phase of growth.”
- “After the reporting date, the Company agreed with Calbee Inc. to extend the repayment schedule of the existing loans by granting a payment break in 2025 and 2026.”

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
