- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After considering all relevant uncertainties, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Orders in 2024 decreased by 50.3% to £14,851,764 (2023: £29,882,301).”
- “The year end backlog stood at £4,306,740 (2023: £17,828,095) largely driven by the cancellation of the Umicore project in December 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
