- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “2024 was a more challenging year than 2023, due to heightened competitor activity in all categories and changing priorities of UK customers. Nevertheless, we maintained our long standing pattern of growth. ... We achieved record levels of growth on the Coswell brand, Bionsen whilst intentionally and successfully handing the distribution to Robinson Young. This enables enhanced focus on growing the Dr Beckmann brand.”

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
