Material uncertainty over going concern
After the end of the Financial Year, the Directors of the company announced their intention to cease operations. Preparations will be made to decommission the company's depot, and the assets will then be disposed of in an orderly fashion, a process that is expected to take several months. Olam Europe Ltd, the company's parent, has agreed to support the company throughout this period to ensure that all external creditors are paid. In these circumstances it is not appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Significant events
- “The company has made the decision to cease trading September 2025. Continuing volatility within the transport market and ever-increasing costs have added the need for further, continued liquidity support through intercompany debt which is not sustainable within the current and future transport market.”
- “The directors made the decision in 2025 to cease all trading of the company. This cessation of trade took place 30 September 2025. The market in which the company continued to operate has remained volatile with costs continuing to rise, making them difficult to recover and remain as a going concern.”

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
