- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the ability of the company to continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future, the directors have considered scenarios which have involved a degree of judgement based upon experience of the sector, forecast activity and the cash resources available to ensure that the financial statements can be prepared on the going concern basis. The directors continue to review in detail the company's position and the appropriate basis on which to prepare the financial statements. The directors have considered detailed projections to July 2026, together with a longer-term assessment, to stress test the financial resilience of the company which take into account both a potential decline in income and increase in costs over this period. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements via the invoice discounting facility. At the year end and the date of signing, the directors are satisfied that there is sufficient headroom available. To the date of approval of the financial statements, consideration of the possible future impact on the customer base and available facilities, the directors consider that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The stress testing of the company's financial position has satisfied the directors that it has adequate reserves and mitigation strategies available to deal with reasonable downside scenarios.”

Significant events
- “Sales decreased by 0.9% over the period after growth of 39.6% in the previous period. Sales in the UK decreased by 5.7%, while Europe increased by 19.9%. Rest of World returned to growth showing an increase of 2.4% after a prior period slight decline. This decrease in UK sales does not reflect underlying sell-out trends and is attributed to overstocks across the industry in early 2025 and a correction in supply chains.”
- “Gross profit margin increased from 11.4% in 2024 to 12.8% in 2025 as shipping costs reduced versus previous year.”
- “An increase in trade creditors and a reduction in trade debtors is reflective of a strong focus on managing working capital. Whilst the company has access to an invoice discounting facility this was lightly used in the period. Group balances have moved in the year as a result of investments made around the wider group and the reorganisation in the prior year resulting in new entities being brought into the wider group.”

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
