Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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

• “The company turnover decreased by 3% compared to 2023. Both the general market demand and business confidence levels were adversely impacted by the UK General election. Elections inevitably prompt uncertainty beforehand and post-election cautious narrative from the new government had a depressing effect on investment and discretionary spending in the UK. This inventory driven demand reduction led to elevated inventory holdings further slowing the economic activity. On the international scene the continued disruption of shipping routes meant that international logistics rates remained higher than the norm. Whilst there were signs of more stable indicators towards the end of 2024 this was overtaken by narrative coming out the USA whose own elections had significant international influence.”
• “At this time the company continues to see lower levels of demand in the market place. The impact of US governinent policy is a disrupting factor to 2025 business levels but with no solid long-term view of outcomes this is a fluid and quickly changing situation. Over the past four years, the company has navigated numerous challenges, which are often considered to be among the most volatile business environments.”

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
