- Affirmed
“The directors, having assessed future profit forecasts and the level of financial support available, where necessary, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists about the ability of the company to ensure that is can continue as a going concern for a period of at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Following on the from Brexit and the war in Ukraine there are risks and uncertainties that could affect the company around supply chain disruptions, particularly around fuel, unavailability of personnel, reductions in sales, disruptions around travel, and closure of buildings.”
