- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the current economic environment and have prepared trading and cash flow projections until 30 June 2026. These forecasts demonstrate that the company is able to generate sufficient cash flows to service its ongoing debt and business requirements as they become due. After careful consideration, the directors have concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Therefore, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 29th October 2024, Axle Bidco Limited, parent company of Abbey Logistics Group acquired 100% share capital of Gussion Transport Limited and Widnes Tank Container Limited. This was a strategic acquisition to secure a vibrant transport facility in a key location with further opportunities to expand additional services such as Washbay cleaning, specialised vehicle maintenance repairs and Isotank storage and handling.”
