Going concern

Affirmed

“On the basis of the current trading position, the forecasts, current cash and funding facilities, the Directors have concluded that they can continue to meet their debts as they fall due. The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The last two years have included unprecedented challenges to the business, affecting our sales (due to extreme weather conditions, the continuing conflict in Ukraine and a sluggish domestic economy) and costs (with higher energy, employee and other costs).”
• “A political change of government in the UK during 2024 and its negative signally about the state of the national economy until its budget late in the year depressed both consumer and investor confidence especially in manufacturing.”
• “That Autumn 2024 Budget introduced unprecedented, especially when taken together, increased Employer National Insurance contributions and National Living Wage.”

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
