“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
- “The sale of development stock in May 2024 was the main factor contributing to the increase in turnover over last year.”
- “Refinancing towards the end of the previous years accounting period, plus the sale of development stock this year had a positive effect upon cashflow.”
- “Finance lease obligations have increased during the year as the company strives to continually enhance the efficiency of its haulage fleet.”
- “The company has relocated the wholesale meat business to more appropriate premises during 2025, opening a retail shop.”
- “Opportunities have arisen for the company to investigate re-entering the European haulage market.”

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
