Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have prepared projections and expect the Group and Company to remain within agreed facilities and fulfil all other liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. These forecasts have been sensitised upwards and downwards and no scenario created any cause for concern about the going concern status.”

Significant events

• “During the year the Preston depot completed the implementation of the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system allowing the company to harmonise processes and utilise the functions of a modern ERP system to drive efficiencies.”
• “In April 2024, solar panels were commissioned at the Durham site. This follows the installation of solar panels at the Preston site in 2023. Over the last three years the Company's entire HGV fleet has been replaced delivering reductions in emissions and fuel consumption.”
• “The Group has nominated a National Charity, Dementia UK, as well as local charities for each depot. Charitable activities will be encouraged to raise funds for our nominated charities.”
• “All three depots have achieved the BRC accreditation at Grade A or above during the year.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
