Disclaimer of opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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

• “The financial year ended 31 January 2025 was a strong period of trading for Benchmark Fabrications Limited, marked by significant improvements in both cash flow and profitability.”
• “The company continues to expand its customer base, including an increasing number of blue-chip clients.”
• “Looking ahead, the trading outlook for FY26 remains positive, with growth targets set to exceed the FY25 performance. In support of this growth, the company has refinanced its operations, achieving lower interest rates which will further improve financial resilience.”
• “Key investments during the year include the acquisition of new machinery to drive productivity and the implementation of advanced manufacturing practices.”
• “Benchmark is also planning capital outlays on energy-efficient initiatives, aimed at reducing utility costs and improving its environmental impact.”
• “Further investments have been made in the company's facilities, enhancing office and working environments. In addition, Benchmark has prioritised its workforce by improving pay and conditions, ensuring the business remains an attractive employer within the industry.”

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
