- 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 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
- “The 2024 financial year was another record breaking year for the Group with overall sales increasing by 21.1% over the 2023 year. The main drivers of the increase were machine sales, which increased by 28.6% due to a significant increase in orders and growth in parts sales.”
- “During the year profits of £166,795 (2023: £201,047) were made on contracts and changes in mark to market valuation resulted in an unrealised profit of £936,319 (2023: loss £475,777).”
- “The Group finished the 2024 financial year in a very strong position, having generated record sales levels as a result of general growth in machine, parts and knife sales and significant sales to an international customer on a project across Europe.”
- “The UK company's carbon footprint across scopes 1 and 2 are set out below for the 2023 and 2024 years. ... GHG Emissions 2024: 61.940 tonnes of CO2e, 2023: 64.508 tonnes of CO2e.”

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
