- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 2024 trading picture saw further growth year on year in terms of overall volumes delivered and revenues. Although at a lower rate than prior year, the year-on-year increases were in line with budgeted and forecasted expectations.”
- “Continued further investment into the aviation fuels sector further enhanced overall trading figures.”
- “Additional operating centres were added during the year to strengthen our geographical offering and capabilities.”
- “Fleet investment continued with further additions to the Truck and Trailer fleets, meeting the latest safety, environmental and technological specifications.”
- “All fleet investments during the 2024 financial period were funded by the cash generated by the business limiting the need for external financial funding exposure”
- “During the reporting period we have invested £32,500 in a new solar panel PV installation at our Grangemouth regional depot.”
- “The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to present a wider more macro level of risk and uncertainty, along with political changes and uncertainty at a local and global level.”
- “The high levels of inflationary pressures, and rising interest rates experienced in recent years are still being monitored closely to mitigate the impact on the business.”
- “As our day-to-day operations become increasingly digitised, we acknowledge the importance of mitigating the threats posed by cybersecurity, such as data breaches, ransomware, and phishing. We continue to invest in real-time threat monitoring, and have rolled out employee awareness training to increase awareness of potential risks.”
