- 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's 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
- “2024 was the first full year of trust ownership of the group and the transition has been smooth with the stability of the Board of Directors helping with the continuing transition; this has been supported by further investment in the second tier management team.”
- “We continue to invest in new technology and equipment as we see this as a key way to grow and improve the service offering to our customers. This continued investment also brings us efficiencies in our production process, which has helped with our gross profit margins as noted above.”

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
