- 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
- “During the year the turnover increased by 13% from £14.7m to £16.6m. This includes £2m commission income which was previously recognised in Carhartt WIP UK (Wholesale) Limited.”
- “At the end of 2024, a new store is scheduled to open in Glasgow, with an estimated annual turnover of £1.5 million.”
- “On 31 December 2023, the trade and assets from Carhartt WIP UK (Wholesale) Limited were transferred to the Company in line with the business transfer agreement. The current year results, therefore, include activities transferred, incorporating commissions receivable (£2m).”
- “During the year, the group renewed its licensing agreement for use of the brand.”

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
