Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Taylor Viney & Marlow Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2025 was yet another difficult year for the business which has again been reflected in the company's results. The primary reason was due to the ongoing strategic decision to step back from UK domestic transport to concentrate on International Freight Forwarding, the company still had to endure the drag, changes and closure of their Witham site at the end of 2024 into early 2025. This also involved having to cut employee numbers from just over 90 to a more manageable level of around 60 at present.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
