Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

- G & H Logistics Ltd 100%

Significant events
- “This year saw turnover increase by 32.73%. Orders have been strong throughout the year and are expected to continue.”
- “Cash in bank and investments have continued to increase by £1,803,149 allowing for further investment in plant and equipment and expansion of the business.”
- “To maximise liquid funds available to meet the planned expansion and provide sufficient funds for the ever-increasing cost of legislative compliance, no dividends have been paid to shareholders during the year and no dividends are proposed.”
- “Expansion of the company's operating premises, investment in new plant and machinery and online presence will drive efficiency savings and quality improvements through automation and systems development. New equipment and processes should increase productivity to help meet demand.”
