- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of their assessment of the Group's financial position and resources, including financial forecasts for the 12 months subsequent to the date of signing the financial statements, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks and a letter of support is in place from DecoPac Holdings Inc. Therefore the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Trading conditions in the UK and worldwide remained challenging during the year, a decline in sales vs 2023 was driven by declines in industrial customers offset partially by growth through supermarkets.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
