Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Rowland Hall Chartered Certified Accountants
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “A dividend of £500,000 relating to the year ended 31st March 2025 was paid.”
- “Turnover in 2024/25 increased by 11% over the previous financial year, with good increases in labour and parts sales. Gross margins increased as well, from 33% last financial year, to 35% this financial year. However, increases in overheads meant that the company's net margin increased only slightly to 6.8% this year.”
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
