- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “A key development in 2024/25 is the pending acquisition of our own site in the South, at Downham Market.”
- “On 30 April 2025 the company purchased a factory for £800,000. This transaction occurred after the balance sheet date of 28 February 2025 and does not affect the financial position at that date. The purchase is considered a significant non-adjusting event and is disclosed to provide users with relevant information about the company's future operations.”
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
