- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption and the Directors have confirmed that this was realistic at the time the financial statements were approved. The directors have obtained a letter of parental support from the ultimate parent, H.B. Fuller Company, which confirms they are committed to support the company to fulfil all of its obligations for a period to 30th November 2026, which is consistent with the company's going concern assessment.”
Significant events
- “In April 2025, as part of a group wide simplification strategy, the number of legal entities in the UK was reduced to leave one commissionaire entity (H.B. Fuller U.K. Limited) and one toller entity (H.B. Fuller U.K. Manufacturing Limited). The trade and assets of Kommerling UK Limited, Apollo Chemicals Limited and H.B. Fuller Production Ltd, previously operating as toller entities under the group's 3-Party Model, were transferred to H.B. Fuller U.K. Manufacturing Limited and these entities will cease to exist post strike off.”

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
