Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- UK-adopted International Accounting Standards
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PM+M Solutions for Business LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company is reliant on a £24m rolling credit facility to fund working capital requirements, renewable on 31st May each year. The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the going concern period which demonstrates that the company has sufficient resources to meet it's liabilities as they fall due throughout the period, provided that the company's rolling credit facility remains available. The company is trading profitably and the directors expect this to continue and therefore the covenants of the credit facility are being met. This means that the rolling credit facility will remain available and therefore directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Following consultation with the workforce the company entered into a Voluntary Exit Scheme with the aim of reducing headcount. This will support the business with its aim to be sustainable on reduced customer volumes. This was concluded in August 2024.”

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
