Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- BDO LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The current and future financial position of the company, its cash flows and liquidity have been reviewed by the directors. The directors have prepared cashflows until December 2026 which indicate the company has sufficient resources to continue to trade for the foreseeable future. In conclusion, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There has been significant disruption to supply chains in certain sectors resulting from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with a notable increase in energy and food prices. The supply chains that the company is involved with have not been significantly disrupted, although it has been subject to the general inflationary environment which has resulted. Increases in input prices (most significantly energy and inventory purchased for resale) have been compensated by higher sales prices.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
