Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Davies Tracey
- 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
- “We have 8 new trucks and 4 new chassis on order for 2025, these will replace some of the older fleet, once again improving efficiencies and reducing running costs. We are also looking into the possibility of internal depot expansion to increase storage capacities for containers and are awaiting feedback on the feasibility of this.”
