- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “The period has seen continued strong trading performance, building on the growth achieved in the prior year. Aftermarket activity remained robust, new vehicles sales are recovering from the restraint previously caused by Covid and the Ukraine War.”
- “The Isuzu franchise continues to grow in importance and provides a clear opportunity for further expansion and diversification of revenue streams.”
- “The company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, with total assets less current liabilities increasing to £3,342,078 (December 2023: £2,970,883), reflecting continued investment in the business and sustained profitability.”
- “The financial statements cover a 16 month period, as the reporting date was extended from 31/12/2024 to 30/04/2025, for commercial reasons. Therefore, the comparative amounts presented in the financial statements (including the related notes) are not entirely comparable.”
