- 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 group's and the parent 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
- “In Q1 2025 the business received an update from a key customer of subsidiary company Spreckley Limited that an ongoing contract would not be renewed after the existing contractual period. Following a review of the remaining business operations at Spreckley Limited, management are of the opinion that the business is no longer viable, and the Spreckley operation was wound up over the course of Q2 2025 with remaining customer demand transferred to Elanders Ltd for fulfilment.”
- “Subsequent to the year end, the company's subsidiary, Spreckley Limited, ceased trading and is in the process of being closed. As a result, the company has written down the carrying value of its investment In that subsidiary. This event occurred after the balance sheet date and has been disclosed as a non-adjusting post balance sheet event.”
- “On 13 March 2024, the group completed the sale of Aro Packaging Scotland Limited.”

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
