Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Taylor Viney & Marlow Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. We feel that it is very important to state unequivocally that the Executive Board at Schneider have been and remain fully supportive of the business as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “In December 2024, the company discontinued operating at it's branch in Witham, as part of a strategy to refocus on international sales and distribution and to help reduce costs in the long term.”
- “The decision incurred a significant amount of one-off restructuring costs in excess of £500K, as we unwound long term truck leases, paid redundancies, and settled various dilapidations and repairs costs in relation to the property.”
- “This resulted in a headcount reduction to around 60 from a peak of 90 in Q1 20224.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
