- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. No material uncertainties were identified relating to events or conditions that 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
- “In FY24, the glass market contracted, but BGC maintained consistent pricing. Key developments included expanding the product range, notably toughened laminated glass, and enhanced logistics capabilities with a new site acquisition in the South to support wider geographical reach and growth.”
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
