Significant events
- “FY24 was a strong year for the business where we recorded increases to both revenue and our bottom line profitability. Turnover for the period was £32.5m and represents a 63% increase when compared to the prior period (FY23 - £19.9m). The increase was driven by continued progress on a large project in the nuclear sector as well as a key project in the hydrogen sector. In addition to this our after market business increased with some large projects booking in the period.”
- “The Company is aware of the 2023 ruling in the Virgin Media vs NTL Pension Trustee case and subsequent court of appeal ruling published in July 2024. These ruled that certain amendments made to the NTL Pension Plan were invalid because they were not accompanied by the correct actuarial confirmation. There remains significant uncertainty as to whether the judgments will result in additional liabilities for UK pension schemes and it is possible that the Department of Work & Pensions will introduce legislation to allow changes to be certified retrospectively. A detailed review of historic documentation will be needed to determine whether the changes made by the Fund were valid (assuming retrospective certification does not become an option), and such a review will take some time to complete. As a result, the Company cannot be certain of the potential implications (if any) and therefore a sufficiently reliable estimate of any effect on the obligation cannot be made.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
