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

• “The immediate parent company (Raveningham Holdings Limited) successfully completed the acquisition of Kent Lift Services Limited on 30 September 2024. This was a strategic acquisition to expand the activities of the group in existing geographic regions. The activities, suppliers and customers of Kent Lift Services Limited were transferred across to Classic Lifts Ltd in November 2024.”

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
