- 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 Group's or the parent 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 two main challenges facing the Group this year were the national increase in drivers wages and general competition for their services due to skill shortages after Brexit, and the world increase in fuel and oil prices.”
- “The Group continues to make significant investment in updating the vehicle and trailer fleet which should see greater fuel economy and emission benefits to help mitigate the fluctuation in fuel prices, along with CPC training that provides the benefits in areas such as safety, fuel economy and accident awareness.”
