- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are set out in this Strategic Report. The Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future and for these reasons they are continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The 2025 financial year has seen a stronger performance compared to 2024 with growth in sales and EBITDA. We have a positive outlook for the 2026 financial year ahead forecasting further growth.”
- “The Group was in breach of the Leverage and Interests cover covenants on the rolling 12-month basis, due to the Red Sea route closure leading to reduced shipping and container availability, which impacted revenue and EBITDA, and therefore the Group undertook another refinancing with HSBC to reset facilities and covenants for future trading.”
- “The signed Heads of Terms agreed to a £3.5 million reduction in the debt capital value, the removal and erasure of all existing interest obligations accrued to date being £3.09 million, a thirty six month interest free period from the date of the signing of the final legal agreement and also contained an agreed repayment plan over a five-year period.”
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. 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
