Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 group's and 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.”
Group structure
- CHESHIRE 3 HOLDINGS LIMITED · parent
- Haydock Commercial Vehicles Limited 100%
Significant events
- “The increase in trade debtors is due to a increase in trade debtors at year end.”
- “The increase in trade creditors is due to the increase in new vehicle stock at year end.”
- “The group continues to make improvements to the properties to meet the dealer standards.”
- “The cash balance remains strong at the year end.”
- “The group is considered an essential supplier to certain businesses in the logistics and transport sectors. We anticipate that there will be strong demand from these sectors, which are considered essential industries, and therefore demand within these industries has not been negatively impacted.”
- “The principal risk to the group is the reliance on a single manufacturer franchise for the majority of the business activities. The group has a franchise agreement with Scania Great Britain Limited. The commercial vehicle sector remains competitive both locally and nationally.”
- “Credit risk is mitigated by the diversity and volume of different customers who operate across a wide range of industry sectors with no reliance on any one customer or sector. The group maintains contact with customers regularly reviews limits, terms and aged debtors. The group has credit insurance in place.”
