- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 or the 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.”
Significant events
- “The business has recovered from the unprecedented economic challenges, some of which were fuelled by geo-political issues during 2023 and continuing into early 2024, supply chain inflation, substantial energy cost increases. employee cost increases driven by National Minimum Wage rates and significant hikes in interest rates all of which served to significantly damage the business model. Notwithstanding the challenges in 2023 and early 2024, the Director was encouraged by the turnaround in business performance since 1st April 2024. Supply chain and energy cost deflation together with, in effect, less sales product discounting have significantly contributed towards strong EBITDA.”
