- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 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
- “Due to our extensive trade with the EU, leaving the EU has still had a significant impact on us but we still have to monitor and comply with EU legislation and regulations and new ones are emerging such as CBAM, the way we trade with NI, however, we remain positive and adaptable to the changes.”
- “We have reviewed supply chains to ensure minimal effect from the Ukraine conflict and war in Gaza, but as with all companies we have seen the knock on increased costs associated with this in materials, energy, insurance and shipping costs.”
- “New EU legislation and regulations is providing some barriers to trade which is of concern and how this might impact our business in terms of rising costs and supply chain.”
