Audit & accounting basis

- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that the directors consider that the company has sufficient resources to enable the company to continue to meet its debts as they fall due. In order to assess going concern, the directors have considered budgets for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The uncertainty and judgements needed have been taken into consideration as well as assessment of mitigating factors and potential upsides when preparing the budgets. The directors are confident that these steps, alongside the current strong trading performance and cash position, will ensure that the company is well positioned to continue to trade through the current uncertain economic environment.”
Significant events
- “Our first two electric powered vehicles joined the fleet in London and finally we achieved the goal of operating a fully Euro VI vehicle fleet, thus reducing our CO2 and NOX emissions.”
- “The claims cost edged up, which was disappointing and will be a focus for action in 2025.”
- “In a topsy-turvy start to our financial year caused by the end of the stamp duty holiday in England and Wales, we have seen a big spike in demand followed by a trough once the date had passed. Overall, however, we have added income and improved conversion and price.”

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
