- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year two new showrooms were opened and none were closed.”
- “Around 5% (2023: 9%) of the Company's products were sourced from outside the UK in the year; disruption to the supply chain from political, social or climate events could introduce lengthy delay, such that customers migrate to shorter lead-time alternatives. During the year the attacks on shipping in the Red Sea led to increased transport times, as most inbound sea-freight switched to sailing round the Cape of Good Hope.”
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. 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
