- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company has, in the current year, recorded a pre-tax profit of £4,404,721, and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The company has a net worth amounting to £6,249,550 as at 30 April 2025. The Company has a strong forward order book. The Company participates in the Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so is able to call upon the treasury facilities, for which it also acts as one of the guarantors.”
Significant events
- “The Company has had a strong order intake of £79.9 million during the year, which has added to the previous orders in hand and produced a substantial forward amount of workload, providing the Directors with confidence in a long-term, sustainable, and profitable future for the Company. With all major facility-related capital investments now complete, the Company is well equipped to meet current and future delivery requirements. During the year the Company has secured $14.5 million of customer-funded capital expenditure investment to expand its radiographic inspection capacity. This will triple the radiographic inspection capacity compared to prior levels, with commissioning set to begin in July 2025 and full operations expected by December 2025.”

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
