Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- JL Winder & Co
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 the year, Bender UK unveiled a new environmentally friendly outdoor area at our Ulverston office to provide a socialising and working space for colleagues. An EV charging park was also added reflecting increasing electrification of the fleet.”
- “Given the economic climate, operating markets were more challenging in 2025 but the fundamentals continue to be strong with continued investment in healthcare, maritime, defence, infrastructure and the green economy.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
