- Audit opinion
- 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
- “Turnover in 2024/25 increased by 5% over the previous financial year, which was mainly attributable due to increased workshop business across both locations.”
- “Gross margins increased over and above this to 40%, and whilst overheads increased by 14% in the year, net profit improved to 13.8% in the year to achieve a good set of results for the year ended 31 March 2025.”
- “A dividend of £750,000 relating to the year ending 31st March 2025 was paid.”
- “The pre-dividend retained profit of the company for the year was £1,949,646 (2024: £1,671,481).”
