- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Management and the Board are confident that the business will continue to generate sufficient cash flows from their operations to meet future obligations as they fall due, as well as the Group's ability to secure equivalent financing from its lenders or via the continued support of the shareholders. Based on these assessments and the performance of the Group through to the date of signing these financial statements, the Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

- “Sustainability remains a key focus of the management team at EV Cargo Distribution, and we were delighted to receive a ROSPA Silver award for safety management along with several industry awards for road transport sustainability recognising our efforts around decarbonisation of our operations.”
