Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Beever and Struthers
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate cash resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, meeting all liabilities as they fall due for payment. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The financial year ended 31 January 2025 represents a standard 12-month accounting period, in contrast to the prior period, which covered 16 months (ending 31 January 2024). Comparisons should therefore be viewed with this time difference in mind.”
- “During the year, the company generated turnover of £10,982,445, compared to £16,283,399 in the extended prior period. The fall in reported revenue reflects the shorter accounting period as well as a general decline in consumer discretionary spending and reduced e-commerce demand following the post-pandemic slowdown.”
- “Gross margins were affected by increased international freight and fulfilment charges, but the company maintained strong cost discipline.”
- “Distribution expenses reduced from £794,933 to £574,280, reflecting both lower sales volume and improved logistics management.”
- “Principal risks and uncertainties: Consumer Spending Trends (Inflation, higher interest rates reducing purchasing power), Marketplace Dependency (reliance on third-party platforms), Seasonality and Climate Volatility (impact on sales volumes), Brexit-related Trade Friction (barrier to expanding into continental markets).”

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
