Trading performance and revenue
Revenue for the three months ended 31 January 2026 was in line with the same period in the previous year.
Lower-than-expected demand in the hospitality sector led to an unfavorable revenue mix and negatively impacted gross profit margin.
Profitability and margin pressures
Adjusted operating profit for the period was materially behind Board expectations.
Profitability was further affected by continued investment in the South West depot and ongoing overhead inflation, including higher NIC and National Minimum Wage costs.
Margin pressure is expected to persist throughout the remainder of the financial year ending 31 December 2026.
Outlook and strategic context
The Board remains cautious on the outlook for the rest of the financial year.
The three-month period typically represents a small proportion of total annual profit.
Growth has historically been achieved through organic expansion and acquisitions in the fragmented UK wholesale market.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
