Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The company is now established in our new hub, Horizon located near Junction 29A of the M1.”
• “The introduction of automation to our supply process has been challenging, but the company is pleased that the operation is performing efficiently now, and that both pharmacies and patient supply is being prioritised.”
• “The introduction of third party assembly, and supply of P/POM & OTC medication to third parties permitted from October 2025 will mean that the company will need to readdress opening hours, and shift patterns.”
• “The company has now closed all satellite depots and has worked hard with our regulators to ensure that we are a leader within the pharmacy wholesale sector. Additional costs were incurred during the year due to a period of dual running before consolidation took place.”
• “Stock control, storage and distribution of pharmaceuticals is significantly improved being in one central location, and reduces the complexity previously associated with dropping/delivering stock to multiple locations to be unpacked, checked in, repacked and dispatched.”
• “Work was completed during the previous year on the building of a new warehouse facility that is now fully operational. The previous warehouse facilities have now been consolidated into one building, built with energy efficient measures in mind. We are exploring opportunities to reduce our consumption further by installing solar panels.”

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
