- 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The directors were pleased to complete two major sustainability investments - the installation of our new thermal oxidising plant and the switch on of our solar PV roof top and car port project.”
- “Towards the end of the year the company placed orders for the purchase of a new calender line, Calender 1, which will result in a significant increase on the overall capacity of the Cramlington plant.”
- “2025 saw a pick up in supply chain issues with challenges being experienced across the wider European chemicals industry as a result of high energy prices and regulatory pressures when compared to some other supply regions.”
- “Our ONE RENOLIT 2025 medium term strategy came to an end and we now look forward to rolling out our new group wide initiative, SPARK 2030, in 2026.”
