“The directors review performance against budget each month and there is a process for daily monitoring of cash balances. There are also regular reviews of forecasts and projections for the business as well as considering the banking facilities requirements and the resources available. Given the consistent levels of profitability (2024: £1,546k and 2023: £2,110k) the directors are satisfied that the banking facilities and available resources are more than adequate to continue to successfully manage the business for at least the next 12 months despite the current uncertain economic climate.”

Significant events
- “In August 2024 Euroforest Holdings Limited acquired the remaining 45% shareholding in Pryor & Rickett Silviculture making it a 100% subsidiary of Euroforest Holdings Limited.”
- “After the year-end the group moved to a new registered office at Carlisle Airport.”
- “Market activity continued to be subdued for most of 2024 with some small increases in timber sales from October onwards.”
- “Arb and Infrastructure works have remained strong and have contributed greatly to the result for 2024.”
- “A second major breakdown at Kent Renewable Energy also meant reduced activity in south England with the plant back in production in early 2025.”
- “The provision of afforestation services has been significantly affected by a difficult and slow regulatory regime meaning a significant pipeline of works has been pushed back into 2025.”
- “Investment in the business has continued particularly in the Arb and Infrastructure services teams.”
- “Company wide adaption of the E-Ticket system LOGr has also led to considerable efficiencies gained with the removal of paper delivery notes and the gain of instant data.”
- “Meanwhile we continues to maintain a fleet of modern machines and trucks pushing hard to ensure we have the latest technology available.”
