- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have concluded that it is reasonable to continue adopting the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company saw a 10% increase in turnover, to £56,581,000 (2024: £51,479,000) during the year, which was driven by the completion of a number of large projects in the year.”
- “Gross profit reduced from 22.1% in 2024 to 18.3% in 2025 as a result of several larger projects being completed at a lower margin, increases in the purchase costs of machines and a reduced discount on our spare parts purchases.”
- “However, there was a £2,136,000 improvement in administrative expenses primarily due to gains on foreign exchange and forward exchange contracts.”
- “Inventories have increased from £11,987,000 in 2024 to £13,733,000 in 2025 because of the higher number of machines held at the end of the year (2025: 139 v 2024: 120), with 66 of these machines relating to 6 projects and have a total value of £7,478,000.”

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
