“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
- “During 2021 all trading activities were transferred from the UK to The Netherlands. There remains a small service office in the UK for Group activities.”
- “The Van Rees Group is currently undergoing a strategic restructuring aimed at improving operational efficiency and aligning resources with long-term growth objectives.”
