Material uncertainty over going concern
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Directors have announced a significant strategic decision regarding the future of the Banbury Manufacturing Unit. The factory will undergo a phased closure, with all packing operations planned to cease definitively by 31 December 2026. With the processing operations already being ceased in prior years, this will mark the complete termination of all operations. This decision reflects the assessment that the site is no longer financially viable in the long term. The Company is initiating employee consultation processes and developing plans to manage this transition responsibly for all stakeholders. The site will be eventually sold following the cessation of operations.
