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.”

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

Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.
