- 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
- “Following the year end, the company undertook a refinancing of its secured borrowings. As part of this process: On 17 July 2025 and 28 July 2025, the company filed statements of satisfaction in full for two existing charges registered at Companies House. A new charge was created on 31 July 2025 in favour of Cynergy Bank PLC, and registered at Companies House on 13 August 2025. This charge includes fixed and floating charges and contains a negative pledge.”
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
