- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have carried out a going concern assessment. The forecasts that support this assessment suggest that the company will continue to be able to meet its obligations as they fall due throughout the period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The company has access to the DHL Group's centralised treasury arrangements.”
Significant events
- “increase in turnover resulting from transport volume increases along with organic growth on existing contracts and new business.”
- “reduction in Interest receivable in the year, and deferred tax has increased during the year resulting in a reduction in the overall profit for the financial year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
