Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Nyman Libson Paul LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty in relation to the appropriateness of continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The business continued to focus on warehouse space optimisation and fulfilment, maintaining a significant and varied stock profile.”
- “Investment in staff training and development.”
- “Addition of key personnel.”
- “Continued investment in the website and new e-commerce website.”
- “Addition of eco-friendly waste reducing machinery and systems.”
- “Enhancement of EV motor fleet.”
- “Although the office enterprise part remains relatively quiet, the growth in the UK fibre rollout and the Data Centre projects are allowing the company to still grow at double digit growth. As the return to offices has now started, we expect this area to bounce back quickly. The company has a very healthy pipeline for this financial year, and we again expect revenue growth of around 10%.”

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
