Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ormerod Rutter
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been drawn up on the going concern basis. If the going concern basis were not appropriate, adjustments would have been made to reduce assets to recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities that might arise, and to re-classify fixed assets as current assets and long term liabilities as current liabilities.”
Significant events
- “The company trades as NFS 360 Connect which started business as Northern Freight Services in 1978. The business was acquired by Groupe Deslog on 31st July 2024 as part of their strategic growth plans.”
- “Groupe Deslog have invested in new driver facilities linked to HGV parking and there is to be further capex in 2025 to install a brake testing facility and renew/expand the HGV fleet”
