- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared forecasts at a group level for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements on a realistic and worst case basis which includes severe but plausible downsides and indicates that the company will have sufficient funds, through intercompany loans, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”
Significant events
- “Profit before tax declined to £6.0m (2023 £9.0m). Constraints within the Cadishead site combined with increased disposal costs had a negative effect compared to prior years. Sales at £25.1m (2023 - £27.3m) is indicative of the constraints being experienced. Gross profit was £8.5m (2023 - £11.1m) with increased pressure on disposal routes.”
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
