- 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 financial performance for the 9-month period ended 31st December 2024 was excellent, with a profit before tax of £2.5m compared to £2.7m for the previous 12 months, excluding exceptionals and interest.”
- “The balance sheet continues to be strong with net assets of £5.6m and cash reserves of £1.2m at the balance sheet date.”
- “The leadership team are very grateful to all employees of J Huggins and Son Limited for all their hard work to achieve such strong results in the first full year of trading following the change of control on 1st February 2024.”
- “The company has shortened its reporting period to align with the financial year-end of its parent company, Cary UK Limited. As a result, these financial statements have been prepared for 9 months.”
- “On 1 February 2024, Cary UK Limited purchased the entire share capital of J Huggins & Son Limited, it became the immediate parent. Cary UK Limited is incorporated in England & Wales, its registered office address is Longwood Road Brookhill Ind Estate, Pinxton, Nottingham, Notts, England, NG16 6NT.”

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
