- 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
- “The Company saw sales continue to be stable in 2024. Sales and relationships with key retail, wholesale and professional partners remained strong and sales with key partners remained satisfactory. The business continues to trade successfully in the development of own label and branded traditional polyethylene bags and aluminium, paper, film food wrap products and added additional sales of other household products in 2024. The Company added additional sales and marketing resource in 2024, in order to further drive growth in the professional sector and other new business development.”

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
