Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Sumer Audit
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “The period has seen increased operational activity and investment against a backdrop of increasing cost pressure affecting fuel, wages, engineering costs and parts availability in addition to the other business overheads. The company has continued to focus on maintaining operational reliability and customer satisfaction, all whilst adapting to these inflationary pressures.”
- “The current financial year was extended to 18 months for commercial reasons, therefore the comparative information may not be entirely comparable.”
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
