Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts

- Reporting scope
- Consolidated (group)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors believe that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Subsidiaries
- Nippon Express (Ireland) Limited · 100% held · Republic of Ireland · Freight forwarder
Significant events
- “The main reason for the overall result reporting a loss for 2024 was around the reorganisation of our UK branch structure. We transferred to a new operational site in Heathrow, along with a new head office. This reorganisation created significant costs to move, along with restructuring costs that we had to absorb in the current year.”
- “Additionally, cash remains positive. The decrease compared to 2023 will be based around the reorganisation of our UK branch structure, that incurred exceptional costs surrounding the move and restructuring.”
- “Global economic challenges, the events in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, that in themselves have contributed to the cost of living issue.”
- “The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events due to climate change pose significant challenges for the freight forwarding industry. These challenges include operational disruptions such as storms, floods, and other weather-related incidents can damage infrastructure, delay shipments, and disrupt supply chains.”
