- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “In March 2024 the business purchased the freehold to our site in Dumfries, Scotland. The redevelopment and construction of new state of the art production facilities will be completed by April 2026. This development will more than double the production capacity in Dumfries.”
- “In June 2024, the business' parent company, Martin Williams (Holdings) Limited, acquired an additional freehold site very close to the main production facilities of the Hull operations. Redevelopment works were completed on these premises at the end of September 2024 and the business took possession on 1st October 2024 facilitating additional capacity in Hull.”

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
