“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £3,563k, at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have an expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Included within net current liabilities is a receivables financing balance of £7,425k (2023: £3,317k). Although secured against current trade receivables, the receivables financing facility itself is revolving in nature and provides ongoing working capital support aligned with the Group's operational cash flow cycle. Additionally, the receivables financing facility is also utilised to support longer-term strategic investments and commitments, including the acquisition of fixed assets and funding of acquisition-related costs. The increase in the receivables financing balance at the 2024 year-end is reflective of its use in supporting the acquisition of The Silver X Group and Bow Distribution and Warehousing, as well as funding significant organic growth achieved across the Group. The group has produced cash flow forecasts based on current trading and existing credit facilities in support of their use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
