Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the future results for a period from when the financial statements are authorised for issue to the end of 31 December 2026 and expect the company to be profitable and cash generative under their best estimate of future performance and a reasonable downturn in trading results. The company participates in a cash pooling arrangement with other group companies and does not maintain a significant cash balance, consequently it is dependent upon access to the pooled funds to manage its working capital. The directors of Bureau Veritas SA, the ultimate parent undertaking, have confirmed that they will provide financial support to enable the company to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due for the period to 31 December 2026. On this basis, the directors have formed a judgement that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
