- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have performed an assessment of going concern, including a review of the company's current cash position, available resources and its forecasts and projections for the next 12 months to the end of January 2027. In doing so the directors have considered the uncertain nature of the Russia-Ukraine war and macro economic factors impacting global supply chain (including tariff policies), the impact on trading to date and reasonably possible changes in trading performance in this period. Based on these projections and available group banking facilities, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The longer term global economic impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and macro economic factors impacting global supply chain (including tariff policies) remains uncertain.”

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
