- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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.”
Significant events
- “High interest rates and limited volatility during 2024 meant that the high profitability from the previous year was not achieved. Volumes remained similar to the last few years with continued loyalty from customers and suppliers alike. There was a lot of uncertainty towards the end of the year, following the election of Trump and the risk of tariffs. 2025 is likely to be a very tough year as the tariff story, high interest rates and the uncertainty continue to dominate the market.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
