- 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
- “2025 had several highlights including the launch of new collections in collaboration with Mulberry Home and Historic Royal Palaces alongside several new exciting introductions from Kravet our parent company.”
- “Following the launch of our first GP & J Baker rug collection we have continued to add additional designs and are seeing good results in this product category, and we will continue to invest in this area during 2026.”
- “We have ongoing success through our licence partnership with Pooky Lighting who launched into the US markets raising the profile of our Baker brands to a broader audience.”
- “We have continued to pursue additional licence opportunities with a collection with Blinds 2 Go planned for launch in spring 2026 and additional projects in work.”
