- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing going concern, the directors have considered the Company's available cash resources, historical and forecast financial performance, and principal risks and uncertainties. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts indicate that the Company is expected to remain profitable and cash generative, with sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due over that period.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company undertook a strategic restructuring of its operations, which included the closure of one of its tank cleaning sites.”
- “redundancy costs of £918k were incurred.”
- “In March 2024, the Directors approved and paid an interim dividend of £250k... It has subsequently been agreed with the Shareholder of the Company to repay the monies in full in September 2024.”

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
