- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As at 31 December 2024, the Group had net assets of £144 million, including net cash and investments of £59 million. A strong order book and long-term supply contracts underpin forecasts for 2026. The directors regularly review working capital requirements and financial resilience, supported by detailed forecasts across a range of positive and negative scenarios. These take into account the ongoing consequences of global conflicts, rising costs, global tariffs, increased competition, labour shortages, loss of key customers, and other relevant events and conditions. In all scenarios the Group has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and accordingly the directors have prepared the financial statements on this basis.”

Significant events
- “While challenges remain, including potential tariffs in key export markets, global economic uncertainty related to Ukraine and the Middle East, and an increasingly competitive commercial landscape in 2025.”
- “The Ukraine and the Middle East do not form part of the group's supply chain, the directors believe the impact will be limited to input price inflation, energy price increases, supply chain disruptions, and exchange rate movements.”

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
