- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements after assessing the Company's financial position and outlook. The Company has access to a rolling credit facility with Barclays Bank and a JCB Finance funding facility, with both lenders providing letters of intent to continue to support the Company. Forecast cash flows for this period remain within these facility limits. In forming this view, the directors considered operating projections, cash flow forecasts, cost control measures, capital expenditure plans, compliance with banking covenants, and potential adverse trading scenarios. Based on this assessment, the directors are satisfied that the Company will have sufficient resources and access to funding to meet its obligations as they fall due. Accordingly, the directors conclude that there is a reasonable expectation the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “investment being made in the construction of its 7th depot, which opened late summer 2024.”
- “With the defined benefit pension scheme continuing to be in surplus, contributions to the scheme reduced in 2024, further supporting the ability of the Company to balance the need to invest in the business whilst continuing to meet its obligations towards the scheme.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
