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 in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, turnover increased by £900k year-on-year, with gross profit rising from 19.10% to 20.96%. There was an increase in cost of goods sold which was largely driven by higher inbound freight costs, reflecting geopolitical instability, container shortages, and rising demand. Administration expenses remained stable at £3.9 million, while the bad and doubtful debt provision was increased due to a major customer entering liquidation in December 2024.”
- “Principal risks and uncertainties: Market trends and the cost-of-living environment. Economic and political uncertainty. Supply chain pricing and reliability. Labour availability; and Competitor activity.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
