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

• “Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2024 amounted to £70,970k (2023: £65,952k). The year on year increase was mainly driven by continued price inflation, increased trading of higher value product lines and a general increase in the volume traded.”
• “Gross margins reflect market conditions and have decreased from 10.7% to 10%.”
• “Administrative expenses decreased from £3,331k to £2,785k principally due to exchange differences on derivative transactions.”
• “Operating profits have increased to £4,267k (2023: £3,699k).”
• “Inventory held as at 31 December 2024 amounted to £8,974k compared to £10,107k at 31 December 2023, a decrease of 11.2% due to less supply chain-challenges so a reduction in the need to hold so much contingency stock.”
• “As at 31 December 2024 the company continues to enjoy a healthy net asset position of £22,885k (2023: £19,448k).”

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
