- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered financial projections and prepared rolling forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these Financial Statements. The sole shareholder Deceuninck NV, a company incorporated in Belgium, continues to provide financial support as necessary to enable the company to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover decreased by 2.8% primarily attributable to the first half of the year, following the loss of a significant account early 2023. Year-on-year revenue numbers stabilised in the second half as new business wins began to contribute steadily. Early 2024 saw high interest and mortgage rates, linked to the Bank of England base rate peaking at 5.25%. In the second half of the year, rates slowly began to ease, supporting the industry. Operating profit was flat largely due to a reduction in energy prices. Operational performance will be supported by recent investments including 2,200 installed solar panels and newly installed water chillers.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
