“The directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due until at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Carbolite Gero saw a positive performance in the year, of consolidation and investment following measures to mitigate impacts of the global pandemic and the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. During this period the business continued to be supported by its varied industry and geographical customer portfolio with continued development of Carbolite Gero's worldwide distribution network enhanced by the Verder Group and combined marketing activity.”

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
