Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have conducted an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which includes an evaluation of the current financial position, cash flow forecasts, and future available funding sources. The Directors have prepared forecasts to 30 April 2027, making certain assumptions regarding prudent possible changes in trading performance, level of demand for the company's products and the efficiency measures implemented. The forecasts demonstrate that the Company can continue to trade within its financial facilities for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Directors have therefore concluded that it is reasonable to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The successful completion of a management buyout, led by Managing Director, Steven Tawn, on 27th March 2025, marking a pivotal moment in the Company's journey and positioning the business for Its next phase of growth.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
