Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The business has successfully started to trade in new markets, such as pharmaceutical and automotive, whilst continuing to grow their business within the food sector, with larger, longer running contracts with customers who appreciate Charpak's excellent service levels.”
• “This diversification remains a strategic objective, with new business and larger contracts, and is progressing well. Charpak is growing and will continue to grow and to diversify with the resources already in place to maintain this growth and improved profitability into 2025 and 2026.”
• “The directors continue to invested in capital assets and production improvements, with a stable and committed workforce during 2024. They are therefore optimistic about servicing increasing turnover from both new and existing customers, which will improve business profitability going forward.”

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
