Significant events
- “2025 saw the prior years of expansion and development pay off achieving profit before tax of £1.36m in the year. All sites have been operational and have produced good crops yielding impressive results for the group.”
- “The group have continued to meet finance obligations and naturally, as more of these are paid off, profitability will continue to increase, and the group will benefit from the reduced cost of finance. Looking ahead to 2026 the group are hopeful that positive results will continue and we will go from strength to strength. Expanding the group further remains a group objective but the cost of doing so is currently very high and therefore any expansion will be reviewed and assessed in detail before any commitments are made.”
- “Avian Influenza - The group is also exposed to any national or local outbreaks of Avian Influenza which could limit the group's supply of birds and ability to conduct operations.”
- “The company had capital commitments post year end, relating to construction of a farm dwelling at Tower, valued at £320,000 and a Biomass site being built at Oakstone valued at £500,000. The total amount contracted for but not provided in the financial statements was £820,000 (2024 - £Nil).”
