Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PKF Francis Clark
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered a period of more than 12 months from the approval of these accounts, including appropriate forecasts, and are satisfied that the going concern basis continues to be appropriate. Given the consistent levels of profitability (2024: £2,502K and 2023: £2,682K) the directors are satisfied that the banking facilities and available resources are more than adequate to continue to successfully manage the business for at least the next 12 months in the current economic climate.”
Significant events
- “After the year-end the group moved to a new registered office at Carlisle Airport. This is the registered office for all UK based subsidiaries.”
- “A second major breakdown at Kent Renewable Energy (KRE) also meant reduced activity in south England with the plant back in production in early 2025.”
- “Major storm damage in Ireland in early 2025 mean there is likely to be excess supply of sawn timber into the UK market.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
