- 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
- “Operating profit has decreased to £528,710... We recognised an impairment charge of 1,085,222 (2024: £nil) to our investment in RGM Lions Ltd (Fagan and Whalley Newport Ltd) due to restructuring of how the two companies operate between each other.”
- “The continued risk of the well published HGV driver shortage creates uncertainty, but we are well placed to handle this with various schemes to introduce drivers into the industry.”
- “Economic uncertainty becomes increasingly important to manage as a risk. Major changes in business taxation/rates and employment costs have an impact on both company costs and trading positions.”

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
