- 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
- “Due to a general downturn across the economy, the company has had to contend with a gradual drop in demand, inflationary pressures and comparatively high interest rates.”
- “The company have provided a guarantee to Lloyds Bank plc for the sum of £80,861 (2023: £68,167) in favour of the Environment Agency.”
