Audit opinion

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 group and parent 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

• “Group turnover increased year on year by £1m, despite a challenging economic environment, which is a result of the group focusing on continuing to meet it's customers' needs of consistent supply and competitive pricing and working with customers to help maintain healthy trading relationships.”
• “The group's gross profit margin has increased from 29.3% to 39% during the year, which is predominately due to a correction of the higher freight and raw material costs to start the previous year and an renewed effort on sourcing quality products at the right price.”
• “Operating profit has increased from £563,770 in 2023 to £3,229,475. This increase been due to the gross profit improvements highlighted above and the end of the temporary increase to directors' remuneration as shown in note 7.”
• “The group's net assets have increased in the year from £6,027,868 in 2023 to £6,496,468 and the profit generated in 2024 has allowed for the overall debt of the group to be reduced considerably, strengthening the position moving forwards.”

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
