- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Turnover decreased to £30.6m (2023: £36.6m), reflecting reduced sales volumes and lower global resin prices. However, operational improvements drove gross margin growth to 22.9% (2023: 20.8%).”
- “The company recorded a pre-tax loss of £0.51m (2023: £0.51m profit) as market headwinds outweighed margin improvements.”
- “The plastics industry is undergoing structural change driven by sustainability, regulation, and customer demand for greener solutions.”

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
