- 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.”

Significant events
- “In April 2023 the company acquired CD (UK) Limited. The buy-out was financed through a combination of cash reserves and invoice discounting through the company's bank.”
- “In October 2023 the group relocated their Head Office to the heart of Leeds city centre, to The Granary.”
- “In Q1 2024, at Surface Design Show, CDUK launched Vita Nova. Vita Nova is a creative take-back and repurposing solution. It revives surface materials, in particular those sold by CDUK, and extends their useful life in new applications.”
- “In Q4 2024 CDUK relocated its warehouse facility to that of their transport provider to fully outsource this function to an established third party logistics supplier.”
