- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover was lower than 2024 partly due to the tanker fleet being transferred completely to a fellow subsidiary company (Compass Energy Limited) at the start of the financial year. This had the impact of turnover being £3.0m lower in 2025 compared to 2024. This also resulted in a reduction in the wages cost and the number of distribution employees in the year compared to the prior year. This transfer reduced the number of drivers by 21 and the wages cost by £1,206,279 (including employers social security and pension costs).”
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
