- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the group and company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources available to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The group enjoyed a successful year, adeptly navigating a challenging industry landscape marked by inflationary pressures and material shortages, which led to several high-profile insolvencies, including ISG, Readie, and Buckingham Group.”
- “The transition to employee ownership has gone from strength to strength and is designed to support the long-term sustainability of the organisation and to secure the legacy of the founding directors.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
