Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- CK Audit
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “A significant operational development during the year was the acquisition and occupation of a new depot in Taunton, Somerset. This modern facility replaced the Company's previous location in Witheridge, Devon, which has since been sold.”
- “To support continued business growth, the Head Office in Wolverhampton was expanded through the addition of a modular office building.”
- “The Company has successfully built upon the growth achieved in the previous year, with turnover increasing by 12.2% (2024: 23.2%).”
