- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have modelled a range of reasonable worst case scenarios to assess the ability of the Group to continue in operational existence in the event these occur. These scenarios consider reductions to volumes and revenue and consider the impact of these on profit and cash generation. All of the reasonable worst case scenarios modelled indicate that the Company and wider group can continue to operate within the available facilities. The Directors have therefore prepared the accounts on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 23 December 2025, the Group agreed a 2 year extension of its existing £25m ABL facility with Barclays Bank. The facility runs to April 2028.”
