- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- 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 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
- “Marketplace conditions have remained tough throughout 2024, with weak demand and difficult trading conditions being brought about by continued global uncertainty and persistent high inflation. Trading has also been impacted by higher levels of cost in both employment and maintenance costs.”
- “Inflation is still above the Bank of England's target rate of 2% and market conditions continue to test into 2025, with further external cost pressures being added in respect of employment costs due to government policy changes, however we are well equipped to respond to external market factors with a skilled workforce and are trading satisfactorily given the prevailing market conditions.”
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. 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
