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. 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 divestment of in-house manufacturing and recycling operations has proven successful. This strategic move has enabled our leadership team to concentrate on core specialisms while fostering collaborative partnerships with a broader range of specialist suppliers.”
• “On 31 October 2024, the directors resolved to place a fellow group company, CPR Manufacturing Limited into voluntary administration. The amounts due from CPR Manufacturing is not deemed recoverable and therefore, the balance has been provided for.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
