- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2025, UK businesses continue to operate in an environment of heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Key factors include ongoing geopolitical tensions (notably the continuing conflict in Ukraine and instability in the Middle East), evolving trade policies and sanctions regimes, and the impact of environmental and sustainability regulation on supply chains and operating models.”
- “The Directors have reassessed the potential impact of these uncertainties and wider macroeconomic conditions on the business during the year, including the effect of management's mitigation actions.”
- “The Company continues to work closely with its customers, suppliers, and other partners to monitor developments and to mitigate any adverse impacts where possible. This includes focusing on cost control and efficiency, and seeking to leverage opportunities that may arise from changes in market dynamics, regulatory developments and the transition to more sustainable business practices.”
