“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

- “Enhanced route optimisation and maintenance programmes to reduce fuel usage and emissions.”
- “Ongoing work to reduce waste and increase recycling across our warehousing operations.”
- “Encouraging eco-driving practices and promoting environmental awareness throughout the workforce.”
- “We also continue to review opportunities for renewable energy use within depots and to collaborate with suppliers and customers who share our sustainability values.”
- “During the year, the company further strengthened its operational base by expanding employee numbers and reducing reliance on subcontracted drivers improving cost control, consistency, and service quality.”
- “Lockwood Haulage has maintaired strong financial health with net assets of £6.78 million and robust cash balances of £3.46 million.”
- “The company remains well-capitalised, with substantial tangible assets of £6.92 million, reflecting continued investment in the modernisation of our fleet and facilities.”
