Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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

• “On the 29th October 2024, C&C Catering Engineers Ltd was wholly acquired by Bunzl Holdings LCE Ltd. On the same date, a majority shareholding of the remaining group C&C Catering Equipment Ltd ("the Company") and C&C Catering Fabrications Ltd were acquired by Bunzl Holdings LCE Ltd.”
• “Turnover was adversely affected in 2024 by the collapse of a major Contractor, ISG. Following their administration, previously secured projects were retendered in the marketplace and subsequently re-won but this led to a delay in the projects being delivered compared to original project delivery timings.”

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
