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.
