- 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 2024 we built on our site a new warehouse facility. This is where the bulk of the £8.3M capital expenditure occurred and was the reason our cash balance reduced from 2023. As we indicated in the 2023 accounts we took advantage of a loan from our parent company to help us with the warehouse project and several other large capital projects.”
- “During 2024 the company had two lost time incidents totalling 14 hours. (2023 no lost time incidents).”
- “In early 2018 the company was accredited to IATF16949 the most recent International Automotive Task Force accreditation which was maintained in 2024.”
