- 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 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 print industry remained challenging throughout 2024 but the Strategy was to grow the business and support customers by keeping prices as competitive as possible in the face of significant supplier cost increases. The sales strategy remains successful with turnover increased from £13.7 million in 2023 to £14.1 million.”
