“The directors are required to prepare the statutory financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. In satisfaction of this responsibility the directors have considered the company's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due. As such, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The company has experienced the challenges of poor trading conditions in the haulage industry so the results, whilst lower than desired were satisfactory bearing in mind the industry's profit pressures.”
- “Alan Miles the Managing Director of Maxi Haulage retired post year end after 29 years' service and is retained on a consultancy basis. In the current year, the company faces major issues due to the ongoing conflict in Iran which is affecting fuel supply, increased costs plus changes in client logistic. The situation is under constant review and the company is making any necessary changes on a daily basis in order to cope with the changing situation.”
