- 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
- “Building plans are ongoing to relocate our Chesterfield insulation branch to a larger purpose built site with hopes for completion in 2026.”
- “A new depot in Portsmouth which opened at the end of 2023 has performed well in year one.”
- “Expanded renewable energy capacity by installing solar panels at our main Chesterfield site.”
- “Replaced 20 petrol-powered forklifts with electric models, with an additional 20 electric forklifts scheduled for delivery in 2025.”
- “Up until 1 January 2024 the company was controlled by Mr R W Hopkins and Mr DJB Hopkins, directors, by virtue of their shareholding in the company. Since 1 January 2024 the company has been a 100% subsidiary of Markovitz Group Holdings Ltd, following a share for share exchange with the new parent company.”

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
