“The directors have concluded that the Soprema UK Companies, on a group basis; have adequate resources to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events

Following this date, the business transitioned from its previous trading activities to become primarily a manufacturing-focused entity. As part of this change, the majority of the Company's sales are now made to a connected company, Soprema UK Limited (Company No. 02939363).”
