Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Like many other businesses, the company continues to encounter tough trading conditions including supply chain disruption, increased taxation, energy and transport costs, labour shortages and geopolitical instability. In the unlikely event it is required, the company's parent company, SHS Group Limited, has confirmed it will support the company for at least the period to 31 December 2026, making funds available to the company to enable it to meet its current liabilities arising as they fall due. The directors have considered and are satisfied that SHS Group Limited is capable of providing this support.”

Significant events

• “The company continues to encounter tough trading conditions including supply chain disruption and geopolitical instability. The Company has had to adapt to a number of challenges including shortages of labour and skilled workers as well as significant rises in taxation, energy, commodity and transport costs, this included adapting operation and supply chains. A key strength of the Company is the determination of our people to find solutions and create new ways of working.”

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
