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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The financial year began against a backdrop of higher interest rates and heightened economic uncertainty... In the last quarter of 2023 trade sales contracted by an average 10%... house building didn't significantly recover... Notwithstanding significantly higher employment costs... the start of 2025 has seen the return of some stability and growth.”
• “2024 saw another phase of advancement in our digital strategy. Our E-commerce website now features enhanced personalisation, expanded product listings, and improved mobile functionality... In tandem, the dedicated bathroom and tiling showroom launched mid-2023 continued to attract attention and grow.”

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
