Sourcing Division

Sales at our sourcing division increased by 20%, compared with the same period in 2022, from GBP11.8m to GBP14.2m. Operating profit decreased from GBP225,000 to GBP104,000.

Post Brexit, Town View Foods (which forms the main part of our sourcing division) had to necessarily reset. This has resulted in a more diversified business, now selling across 35 countries Internationally. However, the growth in turnover (from stg GBP16.6m 2020 to stg GBP26.5m in 2022) has required a significant investment in people, which has more than offset the margin, available from the growth in revenue. We are evaluating all options for our sourcing division, with the primary objective of restoring profitability to previous peak levels.

Dairy Division

Our dairy operation, Cantwellscourt Farm Ltd, continues to perform well across key operating metrics. Notwithstanding a sharp decline in global dairy prices, the business is generating underlying profitability and cashflow for the group as a whole.

Discontinued Operations

The total loss from discontinued operations recognised during the first half of the year totaled GBP0.1m.

Outlook

Your Management and Board are actively looking at a number of acquisitions and we expect to complete at least one of these before the end of the year.

Dividend

The board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend, unchanged from last year.
