Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate. Despite the losses reported over the last 2 years, the company has considerable financial resources together with contracts with several customers and a considerable cash balance with the Hydro cash pooling arrangement. As at the 31st December 2024 the cash pooling balance was £36m. Consequently, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully.”

Significant events

• “The closure of the Gloucester fabrication site was agreed in early 2023 and the site wound down, with work being transferred to the facility in Bedwas and other Hydro facilities in Europe. Agreement for the sale of the site was reached in mid-2024 with completion in January 2025.”
• “The closure of the Birtley Extrusion site was agreed in late 2024 with production being wound down until it ceased in June 2025. The site is currently being prepared for sale with an expectation that the site will be disposed of in 2026.”
• “It was announced on the 26th of November 2025 that due to the economic downturn and uncertainty in the aluminium extrusion market, that the company has proposed to close both the Bedwas and Cheltenham production facilities subject to a consultation period. Final agreement is expected to be finalised in Q1 2026.”

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
