Significant events
- “The early part of the financial year saw continued growth in the global economy after the inflationary shocks caused by Covid and the war in Ukraine continued to subside. However, the introduction of tariffs by the USA and the ripple effect through global trading networks has had a dampening effect on business activity and put pressure on margins.”
- “The Group has maintained significant cash balances for many years for working capital requirements and to fund further expansion through organic growth and acquisition. Expansion to date has been self-funding and the board has set in place a dividend strategy to return value to the shareholders with dividends of £1,913,000 being paid in the year under review. With further distributions for key staff, overall cash holdings were reduced by 47%.”
- “Significant stocks of our new trademark products (Flexies, WOW-Flexies and VeneerTex) have been built up and customer feedback has been positive. Volume sales have commenced and significant growth is anticipated over the coming year.”
- “New products have been evaluated which are being brought to market later in the year with expectations of significant growth in subsequent years.”

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
