- Affirmed
“Consequently, after making appropriate enquiries, and taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
Significant events

- “Sumer Auditco Limited were appointed as auditor to the company following BHP LLP becoming part of the Sumer Group on 31 December 2025, which required a change in audit firm to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.”
- “The Company continues to invest in solar energy, electric courtesy cars, delivery vans and company vehicles, changing most of the company car fleet to electric in 2025.”
