- 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.”
Significant events
- “The logistics sector continues to navigate increased staffing costs and fuel price volatility.”
- “Milk market conditions continue to be challenging, we have seen the consolidation of Dairies coupled with vertical integration of inbound logistics.”
- “Our ability to manage our vehicle maintenance internally is reliant on recruiting and retaining qualified technicians. To support this, we operate an apprenticeship scheme in the garage, which has proven to be a great success.”
- “The management team continues to focus on efficiencies, specifically the ongoing rationalisation of out based sites, farm collection route planning, investment in larger vehicles, and through the adoption of technology.”
- “As for many businesses in our sector, the business environment in which we operate has become very challenging. Consequently with these challenges and uncertainties in mind we are aware that any plans for future development of our business may be subject to unforeseen future events outside our 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
