Going concern
Affirmed

“The company is profitable and cash-generative and therefore commonly funds its day-to-day trading through working capital. It has strong relationships with a number of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas and industries and, as a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. The directors have reviewed the financial position of the company and the cash flow forecast for a period of 12 months from the date of signing, taking into consideration the uncertainties arising from the economic environment and the possibilities of a consequential unfavourable impact of this upon trading. The directors have stress-tested these forecasts by assuming a significant reduction in turnover, offset by identified operational and capital expenditure cost savings. On this basis the directors have assessed the company's cash flow forecast for the 12 months immediately following the date of signing and believe that it will have sufficient cash resources to meet its daily cash flow requirements over this period and therefore continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the directors of the company have received written confirmation from Beijer Ref AB that it will continue to support RW Refrigeration Wholesale Limited so that it can meet all of its financial liabilities for at least one year from the date of signing these financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
