- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption and the directors have confirmed that this was realistic at the time the financial statements were approved. On 29th November 2025, the Company had net current liabilities of £39,379k (2024: £35,539k) and therefore the directors have obtained a letter of parental support from the ultimate parent, H.B. Fuller Company, which confirms they are committed to support the company to fulfil all of its obligations for a period to 30th November 2027, which is consistent with the company's going concern assessment. The directors have assessed the ability of H.B. Fuller Company, to provide this financial support should it be required and noted no issues. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Following the balance sheet date, escalated tensions in the Middle East led to further disruptions along major international maritime trade routes. Management has assessed these developments and determined them to be non-adjusting events, as they reflect conditions that arose after the reporting period.”
