- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a minimum of twelve months after the date accounts are signed. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual accounts.”
Significant events
- “Challenging trading conditions remained through 2024, not helped by the snap general election and subsequent change in administration.”
- “The automotive sector continued to show a modest recovery through 2024 despite electrification targets being postponed leaving a level of uncertainty about the sectors longer-term strategy and future direction.”
- “The construction sector, and in particular Housing, saw significant contraction through the period impacting the demand from associated supporting sectors.”
- “The HMRC compliance checks on our tax returns from 2017 continued to progress during 2024 but are still yet to be concluded.”
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
