- 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 group's and the parent 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
- “2024 has been a challenging but pivotal year for SW Group Logistics. Following the loss of two major contracts in 2023, the company took deliberate action to restructure, reduce overheads, and position itself for long-term operational stability. Despite a 7% decrease in sales in the year, the company made strategic investments in new vehicles and trailers, as well as digital infrastructure (R2C and Samsara). Additionally, the business incurred a financial impact due to redundancy costs and planning expenses for a proposed new warehouse build on company-owned land at Chelworth Industrial Estate. Despite these short-term financial pressures, the business is now more streamlined and operationally prepared for recovery and growth in 2025.”
