- Affirmed
“The Directors consider that the Company has sufficient liquid resources and access to future resources to enable the Company to cover its costs and pay its liabilities for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the Directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2024 the Company saw a weakening of sales due to the increased inflation putting pressure on disposable income. The Directors are pleased to report turnover of £10.6m (2023: £11.3m) and a profit before tax of £0.79m (2023: £1.11m).”
