- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have considered the Company's current and future prospects and its availability of financing, and are satisfied that the Company can continue to pay its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. The Company reported profitable years over the past years generating a cash surplus. The directors anticipate that this will be repeated in 2026, although the expected profitability may decrease due to operational cost increases. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company maintained its investment in communication tools to support the Pyrex® brand following the successful Q4 2024 campaign. This initiative delivered strong results confirming the effectiveness of brand-focused marketing. Building on this momentum, brand visibility and targeted promotional activity were sustained throughout 2025 to protect market share and reinforce brand leadership.”
- “While high street and traditional retail channels continue to face structural challenges, the company remains strategically focused on being present where consumers choose to shop. This includes strengthening partnerships with major supermarkets and maintaining a strong online presence through the company Webshop and Amazon marketplace, ensuring accessibility and visibility across all key purchasing channels.”
- “The Company will continue to launch new products and scrutinise its costs. Ecommerce will continue to grow in the cookware category and the Company will take full advantage of this trend thanks to its privileged relationship with online retailers. As such, the Company will continue to invest in its direct-to-consumer channel (D2C) with the improvement of the Website for UK consumers and the development of sales on marketplaces, notably Amazon. The company plans to invest in a WMS (Warehouse Management System) to aid with the technical requirements of our customers and expand the in-house infrastructure for D2C sales. The company also intends to continue its significant investment in communication to support the sales and the Pyrex® Brand equity.”
