Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “We had a good start to 2024 but were faced with softening market conditions in the latter part of the year leading to lower sales in comparison to 2023.”
- “We continue to maintain our focus on long-term value creation and launched a set of targeted initiatives in new industrial markets, which we expect to begin delivering returns in 2025.”
- “Sustainability remains integral to our strategy, and in 2024 we made further progress in optimising raw material sourcing. These efforts are aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our packaging and products”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
