- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Following a year of consolidation from 2024 into 2025, the Directors report a successful year, resulting in a healthy increase in both revenue and net profitability. New client generation has been ongoing throughout the year alongside continued focus on our existing client portfolio, ensuring customer satisfaction and growth within their accounts. Coinciding with the above, further growth has been fuelled by continuous reinvestment, a significant outlay being the installation of a Vehicle Maintenance Unit on site, bringing servicing, repair and maintenance of our fleet under our own control. Furthermore, additional funds have been deployed towards software implementations, particularly a new accounting system, as well as upgrades to the Transport and Warehouse Management systems and HR platform. It remains key to ensure our fleet of HGV's remain efficient and environmentally compliant, whilst operating a modern fleet. The business is proud to announce that we have successfully been recertified for FORS Bronze and Silver demonstrating our continued commitment to best practices in safety, efficiency, and environmental protection. We're also proud to announce that we've successfully passed our ISO surveillance audit, reaffirming our commitment to quality, compliance, environmental management and continuous improvement. This achievement reflects the dedication of our team and our ongoing focus on maintaining the highest standards across everything we do. VLT Headquarters is now fully powered by green energy, reducing our environmental impact every day. The business has also updated processes to fully comply with the latest food waste separation regulations.”
