Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Johnston Carmichael LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the signing date of the financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the 2025 year the wider Group model for acquisition of plant has continued to be to acquire its plant through different Group companies meaning the activity and profit in JMS remains low.”
- “the company is no longer used as the main acquisition vehicle for the Group assets but the company remains part of the Groups overall strategy for recharging costs.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
