- Affirmed
“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
- “In 2024, Exol purchased the site and warehouse adjacent to its All Saints Road premises which provided the business with direct access to the nearby A4038. The development which continues in 2025 will also allow the business to expand its manufacturing and stockholding capabilities whilst improving the logistical flow of the site.”
- “Exol will receive the prestigious Kings Award for Enterprise for International Trade in May 2025, recognising the company's outstanding growth in overseas markets.”
