Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the working capital requirements of the Company and believe that the resources available to them are sufficient and appropriate for the ongoing trading needs of the business. As a result of this assessment, the going concern assumption continues to be adopted in the preparation of these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “At 31 December 2024, Burbidge & Son increased its net asset position to £4.7m (2023: £4.2m) despite the ongoing operating challenges and wider economic uncertainties. The increase in net assets was partially due to revaluing part of the Bumsall Road site, as under FRS 102 accounting standards this premises now meets the definition of a mixed-use property with part of the property being leased out to a third party.”
• “The Company refinanced its previous CBILS loan at the beginning of the year via a new long-term loan which it began paying down during the period.”
• “The Company incurred abnormal costs at the beginning of the year through the finalisation of production consolidation at its main factory facility.”

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
