Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the company's cash position and forecasts until December 2026, as well as the cash position of the wider Geo Kingsbury group, and based on this have a reasonable expectation that, at the time of approving the financial statements, the company has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from that date.”

Significant events

• “Trading conditions remained challenging throughout 2024. Nevertheless, the business is expected to maintain profitability in the upcoming financial year despite the ongoing difficult environment.”
• “Alsford Timber Limited has taken several steps to improve its energy efficiency during the reporting period. This includes projects to upgrade all LED lighting in its Head Office, introduce a first electric forklift at the Brighton site, and transition the company fleet to electric vehicles.”

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
