- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through its banking facilities. After reviewing the company forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore adopts the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The results were particularly commendable following the fire on June 23rd 2023 in our panel van conversions and base preparation section. Whilst it is disappointing that what should have been a record financial year was affected by capacity issues and cancellations as a result of the fire, we are grateful for the help of our insurers. Despite challenges, we were able to minimise any negative effect on turnover and margin and still report 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
