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

• “2024 for Containerlift Services Limited was a year marked by significant external disruption, beginning with the Red Sea crisis. Over the 2023 - 2024 New Year period, shipping lines rerouted vessels from the Far East and Middle East around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid conflict zones. This diversion led to widespread delays in vessel sailings to and from Europe and the UK, creating substantial uncertainty across the logistics sector. Many importers and exporters responded by pausing shipment bookings, which had a pronounced impact on trading conditions during the first quarter.”
• “2024 saw the continued redirection of freight forwarding work to our new group company, Containerlift Shipping Services Limited. As a result, revenue previously recognised within Containerlift Services Limited is now reported under Containerlift Shipping Services Limited. This structural shift supports improved operational clarity and aligns reporting with the Blue Group Collective Limited's long-term objectives.”

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
