- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 24/25 financial year saw revenue stabilisation following the previous year's fleet expansion. While 23/24 was defined by growth, 24/25 was defined by margin protection.”
- “Increased Employer National Insurance contributions and changes to the National Living Wage have placed upward pressure on operational overheads.”
- “Continued geopolitical instability affecting global shipping routes (e.g., Red Sea) remains a risk to the 'global freight' arm, impacting lead times and container costs.”
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. 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
