Directors said that the company had once again grown turnover and “despite the competitiveness of the market, achieved an increase in margin”.
The Ballymena company sells eggs under the Big and Fresh brand and offers both colony and free-range eggs.
Risks
“The key risks to the business arise from competition from other producers, fluctuation in meal and egg prices and disease outbreaks among poultry flocks,” the directors’ report continues.
“The directors consider that the scale of the company’s operation, combined with the careful control of costs, overheads and processes gives the company a significant advantage over its competitors.”
