- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This is primarily founded on the positive cash position at the bank and the absence of any debt.”
Significant events
- “In addition to delivering a solid financial return, the year to 30th June 2025 has been a significant one with regards to the passing on of the operational responsibilities of the business to John Dean, who was successfully appointed CEO in March 2025. In the 150 years the Gordon family has owned the business, this is the first time someone out with the family has been given responsibility for the day to day running of the company and represents another positive progression in the evolution of the firm. We continue to work on our environmental impact, and we have achieved our ISO14001 during this year. This is another step in trying to manage and reduce our carbon footprint.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
