- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the strength of both the group and the company's current assets and profitability, the directors of this company have continued to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of this company's annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover decreased from £44,606,000 last year to £43,134,000 in the current year, a decrease of £1,472,000 or 3.3% compared with last year.”
- “Operating profit increased by £362,000, or 2.6%, from £14,028,000 in 2023 to £14,390,000 in 2024. The increased operating profit is driven by the continuing operational efficiencies being made by the company in terms of distribution and back office functions offsetting the reduction in gross margin arising from the reduced turnover.”
- “2024 was not without its challenges, with revenue opportunities being constrained by the unseasonally cool summer weather experienced in the UK.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
