Going concern

Affirmed

“Hence the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Company was able to react quickly to the exit of a major competitor from the UK market, gaining significant new customers over the last quarter of the year.”
• “Restructuring of the finance and customer services teams to a UK shared service centre, which occurred in November 2023.”
• “During the year 384,209 dispensers were placed.”
• “The cost of living crisis has also sustained the rising energy and commodity prices during the period. The Company has therefore put in place cost saving initiatives to offset some of the increases.”

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
