Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KJA Kilner Johnson Ltd
- 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 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
- “Credit control systems continue to ensure a high level of operational awareness. Having said this, the more challenging economic conditions have dictated that we have a marked increase in the level of bad debt provision for the year totalling £332,368 (2024 - £72,406).”
- “Towards the end of 2023 the company began leasing an all-electric HGV for local delivery routes. The benefits of this have been significant giving zero emissions and a dramatic drop in noise pollution.”
- “As a member of Planet Mark's Business Certification programme, the company monitors operational carbon emissions and is incentivized to reduce environmental impacts. To retain certification, evidence must be obtained to demonstrate that emissions have been reduced by at least 5% annually.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
