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

- Audit opinion
- Disclaimer of opinion
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are confident that the business can be rebuilt, but there are significant risks to the company's ability to continue as a going concern. After making appropriate enquires, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they have concluded that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 16 August 2024 the Tredegar showroom of Ron Skinner and Sons was destroyed by a catastrophic fire.”
- “The company received insurance proceeds of £12.6 million to cover Building insurance, stock loss, and loss of profits.”
