- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 or 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
- “Record levels of turnover have been achieved at £25m, with Gross Profit % levels being maintained. Administrative costs have largely remained static compared to year ending December 2024 and the company has a solid base to handle anticipated increases in turnover in 2026/2027 accounting periods.”
- “FY2026 looks set to be another record year for the business in terms of turnover with 2027 projections currently forecasting further growth and sustained profitability.”

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
