Audit opinion

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.”

Significant events

• “2024 has been a transformative year for EV Cargo and especially the Company, with many of the significant investments and strategic initiatives undertaken in recent years generating compelling value and results.”
• “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.”

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
