Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the performance of the company and considered the impact of macro economic and geopolitical factors on the company's trade, workforce and supply chain. In making their assessment, the directors have reviewed the performance since the year end, the trading outlook of the company and forecast cashflows for at least the next 12 months. At the time of approving the financial statements, they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The ownership of J B Ingall Limited (parent company of Norton Cast Products Limited ("NCP")) was transferred at the end of October 2024 to an Employee Ownership Trust ("EOT"). The transition to an EOT satisfied two important goals. It provided a succession strategy for the current owners and secured the future independence of NCP.”

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
