Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Shorts
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “The war in Ukraine and piracy off the Horn of Africa continues to destabilise global supply chains, but unlike some of our competitors, because of our global spread of suppliers, we can mitigate some of the effects of this disruption for our customers and offer alternate solutions where compressed lead-times are required.”
- “The UK government implemented a plastic packaging tax in April 2022. The company in line with its manufacturing partners is implementing more sustainable products, where permissible supplying products containing a minimum of 30% recycled materials instead of virgin polymer.”
- “Continued challenging trading conditions remain in 2025, namely due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the high levels of inflation and interest rates in the UK.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
