“On consideration of the above, the Directors believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forecast period to 30 April 2027 and the Directors therefore consider it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 2025 Financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover for the year increased by £2.4m to £72.6m (2024: £70.2m) demonstrating market share growth despite weak demand and deflationary pressures. The business has increased gross margin from 24.8% in 2024 to 27.0% in the current year due to margin accretive products and considered procurement decisions, and despite an increase in operating costs, operating profit before exceptional items increased by £1.6m to £2.4m (2024: 0.8m).”
- “ongoing investment in automation and robotics is expanding our capacity and strengthening our capabilities for the future.”
- “Exceptional items in the prior year related to redundancy costs incurred as part of a fundamental restructuring project to streamline the operating structure.”
