“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis which they consider to be acceptable for the following reasons. The Company is obligor to the senior debt facilities of Alloy Topco Limited and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") and is party to a Group treasury arrangement therefore the directors consider that the going concern assessment of the Company is dependent on the going concern assessment of the Group.”

Significant events
- “During the year ended 31 December 2024 a group wide intercompany loan simplification project was undertaken. As part of this process, the Company was released from its liability to pay all amounts under its outstanding loan payable and accrued interest by Dundee Holdco 4 Limited, a fellow group subsidiary, recognising £60.0 million as a deemed contribution to equity.”
- “The first phase of the installation of the new production shell line is complete. Once commissioning is complete and customer approval has been granted, this cell will replace the site's current shell capacity. A second cell has already been purchased with installation and commission planned for 2025 and 2026, which will double the shell capacity of the business.”

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
