- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In 2023, the group chose to change the financial period end from a December year end, to a September year end for commercial reasons. As such, the comparative period covers the nine-month period from 01 January 2023 to 30 September 2023. The current year financial statements have been prepared for the twelve-month year ending 30 September 2024.”
- “Despite the decrease in turnover, the gross profit margin for the year increased from 15.51% in 2023 to 16.85% in 2024. This was due to changes within the group, and new stock lines being introduced.”
