- 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
- “Despite ongoing economic uncertainties and continued cost pressures, the directors are satisfied with the company's performance during the year. Distribution-related costs in particular have remained elevated and continue to place pressure on profitability. During the year, the company undertook a review of its core customer base and renewed its focus on its established strengths in providing excellent product availability and high levels of service to the Interior fit sector.”
