“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
- “The Directors are aware of the current conflict between the Ukraine and Russia and the impact this may have on the global supply chain and inflation going forwards, most notably in relation to fuel prices. Increased competition and challenges facing the haulage industry, including the ongoing HGV driver shortage and increased costs in key areas of the business.”

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
