- Bishop Fleming Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company manages cashflow and liquidity and regularly reviews the forecasts and projections. Taking account of reasonable and possible changes in trading performance in the market. Where necessary the controlling party supports the company to ensure it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and to continue meeting its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing their financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On the 1 September 2025, the Company's main customer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) experienced a cyber-attack which forced them to shut down all their computer systems. This meant a complete halt in production worldwide. As the Company's second largest customer, Kautex. also supplies JLR, this meant a 80%+ reduction in output for Sanoh UK. The effective shutdown of production lasted for 8 weeks in total and JLR did not return to full production until well into November. The resultant anticipated loss for Sanoh UK is in the region of £400k and has had a major impact on forecasting. As a result, the Company has prepared and submitted compensation claims to both JLR and Kautex and is awaiting the outcome of negotiations. Feedback so far has been positive, and the Directors are confident of recovering a significant amount, if not all the total loss. Negotiations are expected to complete before the end of the calendar year.”

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
