- 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 group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Sales were 10% below the prior year, primarily as a result of moving away from very low margin product sales in the UK business.”
- “The Red Sea shipping crisis impact which was experienced in the previous year was significantly reduced in the year to September 2025.”
- “The business investment made previously in solar panels for both the UK based factories and warehouse proved beneficial and resulted in energy savings in the year.”
- “Warehousing and purchasing efficiency improvements led to reduced stock holding, down £1.57m (24%) year on year, culminating in reduced Invoice Financing Debt and significantly improved Trade Creditor positions.”
- “New machines have been acquired to improve manufacturing processes, reduce waste and headcount.”
- “One of the UK warehouses will be exited by 30th June 2026 without penalty to the Landlords. The cost saving is in-excess of an annualised £700,000.”
