“During the year the company made a profit after tax of £571,425 (2023 - £367,937), had net assets of £10,228,872 (2023 - £9,657,447), net current liabilities of £9,728,704 (2023 £7,979,648) and cash in bank at the year end of £522,861 (2023 - £315,606). The director and his management team have continued to invest considerably in the business, managing cashflow with ongoing investment and the use of invoice financing facilities. The director has received written confirmation from a finance broker that the business has access to adequate finance to meet the liability should it fall due.”
Significant events
- “Moran Logistics supported the set-up of a new company, Moran Logistics (Ambient) Ltd, to acquire the operations of a business that had fallen into administration. This required heavy investment in Q4 2024 but has provided a new Ambient business that further extends our service offering for customers.”
- “HMRC have so far issued determination assessments in the sum of £5,146,903 on 25 April 2025 to which Moran Logistics have appealed as it remains the opinion of the Directors and his third-party advisors that these debts are not due.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
