- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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”
Significant events
- “Turnover for the twelve months to December 2024 was £29.4m (2023: £27.1m), reflecting growth of 8.5%. The company retained major contracts, expanded its service offering, and introduced new products despite a challenging UK tyre market marked by consolidation, inflationary pressures, and supply chain volatility. Profit after tax rose to £1.2m (2023: £469k) due to operational profitability improved through efficiency gains and disciplined cost control.”

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
