- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position, banking arrangements and current year forecast, and of the enquiries made of the directors of the company's parent Socomec SAS, the company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have assessed the Parent's financial position and concluded that it has the ability to support Socomec U.K. Limited to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2026 will see the business expand its warehousing facilities with a new premise in Stevenage replacing its former Hitcin premises.”
