- 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
- “The trade and assets of Consuma Paper Products was acquired out of administration on 1 December 2022 with the operational site at Granthan being the hub for the FT business and some TT/KT.”
- “Early in 2023 the shareholders, supported by the wider Northwood group of companies in terms of finance and management time, acquired a site at Ellesmere Port with the intention of building this into a world class facility producing private label TT/KT”
