- 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
- “During the year the company provided funds to parent company Duo Packaging Group Limited to support investment in Duclo Recycling Limited ("Duclo"). Duclo entered voluntary liquidation in May 2025, and further investment support is no longer required. The company has surrendered the lease on premises that were occupied by Duclo at a significant discount.”
- “The company balance sheet value continues to remain strong at £7.9m (2024: £6.7m) and following the failure of Duclo, the directors believe the company remains in a stronger and more stable position.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
