“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and parent company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As such the financial statements are preprepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Following the end of the reporting period, the company made the decision to sell its Bramley site, which previously operated as a warehouse and housed office space used for administrative and logistical support. This decision aligns with the company's ongoing strategic transformation, having exited manufacturing operations and now focusing exclusively on sales and distribution.”

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
