Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Azets Audit Services
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making suitable enquiries from its ultimate parent company, the Directors have a clear expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the going concern basis is adopted for preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The expected upturn in business in 2024 did not materialise and high stocks and fierce pricing from the competition lost business in Q1. Help from the manufacturers and a pricing restructure helped us compete for the rest of the year but the geopolitical situation in the world severely reduced the confidence of the market to invest. The high cost of holding stock combined with rising costs and low consumer confidence meant 2024 ended with an operating loss of £233k.”
- “In May 2025 the company purchased the site from which it operates for £1.26m. This was funded partly by a group loan and partly from the company's own funds.”

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
