Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts

- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Mercer & Hole LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Turnover - turnover increased by 3.0m. This was driven by strong growth of new customers throughout the year, utilising the new facility in Bedford.”
- “Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 11.2% to 11.5% due to the absorbing of fixed costs through new customer acquisition.”
- “Profit before taxation - increased by 376k due mainly to the profitable growth in revenue.”
- “2024 was a year successful year and following more new customer acquisitions, it is expected 2025 will continue to see a further increase in profitable growth.”
