- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future: Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “Turnover decreased by 32% primarily as a result of the downsizing in 2023.”
- “Trading in 2024 returned to normal levels but was impacted by the decision on 31st March 2023 by the Directors that confirmed that production of pultruded profiles would be transferred to other Group Subsidiary Companies. Fibreforce Composites will continue with other production activities and operate as a service centre for UK based customers. The programme of change was completed by the end of 2023: with the Company returning to profitability in 2024.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
