Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Duncan & Toplis Audit Limited
- 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 for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “A key milestone in January 2025 was the agreement of heads of terms for the acquisition of a regional agricultural machinery dealer in Newark.”
- “Looking ahead to 2025, the business will introduce a new cordless battery platform, reinforcing its position in the battery-powered garden machinery market.”
- “In parallel, new petrol-powered garden tractors and lawnmowers will be added to the range, targeting customers with larger gardens and small estates.”
- “Later in the year, the company will launch a new, larger model within the Fortis cylinder mower range, specifically developed for the professional sports pitch market, further strengthening its presence in the high-performance turfcare sector.”
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
