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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. Based on the work performed, no material uncertainties were identified that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months.”
Significant events
- “Sales and profits have fallen during the year due to economic headwinds.”
- “New participants in the industry will act as strong competitors to us in 2024/25 and will potentially squeeze both margins and sales revenues, there is large potential for disturbance in the supply of trailers, were are preparing for this by exploring additional product choices for the future.”
