- Affirmed
“Due to the nature of the entity, the company is not directly exposed to trading fluctuations. The company is in a net asset position of £1,116,976 (2024 - £1,116,981) and a net current liability position of £628 (2024 - £623). The company has the ability to rely on funding from its financially strong subsidiary Trebor Bassett Limited and therefore the directors have a reasonable expectation to be able to continue to meet its day-to-day working capital requirements through the group's treasury arrangements for the foreseeable future, and for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
