Audit & accounting basis

- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operating for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements. Therefore, the company will continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the summer of 2024, the company suffered a major disruption to its supply chain, including a period in which the company struggled to obtain deliveries of a number of its key products. Although the company managed to rectify the supply problem, stock levels and the company's ability to fulfil orders from stock was seriously impacted and it took until the first quarter of 2025-2026 to build stocks of the affected ranges back up to pre-disruption levels.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
