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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

Significant events

• “The business faced a challenging economic environment during the year notably within the transport department operations, experiencing volatility in fuel costs and significant increases in repair and maintenance costs.”
• “A rationalisation of the fleet size and a reduction from mid-September 2025 of the geographical area covered in delivering Palletine network freight.”
• “New business wins since the year end have now resulted in a reversal of this decision and will boost profitability going forward.”
• “Our Burton site also benefitted from the signing of a 5-year warehouse and fulfilment contract in spring 2025 which now means that the warehouse is filled by two anchor customers which will generate significant levels of revenue and profitability for some time to come.”
• “Commencing in October 2025 the business will take over the operational running of a further two adjoining warehouses of 13,000 sq foot each in Cherrycourt Way, Leighton Buzzard.”
• “The strategic investment plan initiated in the 2021 to ensure the business is better equipped to meet our customers' needs continues: all except three vehicles are now owned rather than leased.”
• “A new warehouse system was launched at Burton for the new customer and will be rolled out across the remaining warehouses over the next eighteen months.”
• “Launched our Warehouse to Wheels programme in the year. To date 6 employees have completed the programme with a further 2 enrolled. Additionally, 3 drivers have undergone HGV class 1 training.”
• “A 71kw solar panel array was installed in Autumn 2023.”
• “We will continue to roll-out our new Warehouse Management System throughout the year ending 31 May 2026 and aim to complete the roll-out in during the 31 May 2027 financial year end.”
• “Our sixth warehouse in Cherrycourt Way will open in October 2025.”
• “Subsequent to the year end, two unit leases have been signed under 5-year terms. This will allow more efficient operations moving forward.”
