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 group's and parent 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.”
Group structure

- Cheshire Landscape Supplies Limited 1%
Significant events
- “2024 was a difficult year for the business, as sales continued to decline due to poor macro-economic environment and political uncertainty.”
- “Low demand has reduced gross profit, which has combined with increased overheads to reduce Profit Before Tax. Steps have been taken during the latter half of 2024 to reduce overheads to better align with the lower turnover and in turn improve profit before tax for 2025.”
- “On 30 June 2024 the group acquired 100% percent of the issued capital of Cheshire Landscape Supplies Limited.”
