- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. After reviewing the company's forecasts and order book, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There remain factors outside of Speller Metcalfe's control such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.”

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
