Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Azets Audit Services Limited, trading as Ensors
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 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
- “Further Investment has provided the opportunity to introduce new green initiatives such as the capture of CO2 from our production process to enable its distribution and sale to the UK market through its own transport team.”
- “On 1 September 2025 our auditors, Ensors Accountants LLP, merged with Azets Audit Services Limited. Accordingly Ensors Accountants LLP formally resigned as the company's auditors with the directors duly appointing Azets Audit Services Limited, trading as Ensors to fill the vacancy arising.”
