- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 group's and the parent 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
- “Completion of UK Expansion: the extension and new welfare facilities at our Blaina site were successfully completed, increasing factory space by 75% and further enhancing operational efficiency and employee wellbeing.”
- “ERP Cloud Implementation: this project remains ongoing and will provide the foundation to streamline processes, improve data insight, and enhance business agility.”
- “Blackwood's Dilsen site in Belgium is fitted with solar panels. Over the reporting year, these panels have generated 212,487 kWh of electricity (2023: 4,523). Of this, 104,726 was consumed in operations (2023: 2,923); the remainder was sold to the grid.”

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
