Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Taylor Dawson Plumb Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, 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 October 2024 the entire issued share capital of AB Outsourcing Ltd was acquired by Icebox Belgium Holdings Srl. This acquisition presents great opportunities for ABO / Arctic Hayes Ltd to continue to achieve solid growth in the UK and European heating and plumbing marketplace, offering synergistic buying power and complementary product ranges from the wider Diversitech Group organisation.”
- “We have continued to make further commercial gains and won a two year contract with a major national account to supply heating products.”
- “We extended our contract with a major contractor for a further two and a half years to supply a full range of products across the UK.”
- “We also signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Trappex to supply their products within the UK and Ireland.”
- “The launch of our pipe freeze project was slightly delayed and only went to market in the final cuarter of 2024.”

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
