- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the Directors have not identified any material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “2025 proved to be a challenging year, with lower than budgeted sales, but Norma UK were able to still deliver strong profitability. Sales for 2025 reached £52.2 million, a decline of roughly 9% Vs 2024 revenue of £57 million, despite the drop in topline Norma UK were able to limit this effect, with profitability dropping only 1.6% Vs last year, a positive reflection of Norma UK's operational flexibility and resilience.”
- “This strategic decision future proofs the requirement for items manufactured from the UK entity, diversifying away from a reliance on automotive applications, where a long-term decline is expected due to electrification. 2024 saw the first nominations for key projects that diversify our core product range and customer base.”
- “Our Plant will need to be changed and re-structured to enable growth for a diversified product offering and customer base. This started in early 2024 with machine movements within our welding hall. Creating space to industrialize 3 large robotic investments, ensuring we drive and lead automation, a necessity to protect the company from inflationary impacts in the workforce.”
- “in 2025 we took steps to utilise our systems further, in finance we focussed on improving accuracy, timeliness and transparency of reporting, through usage of Dynamics 365, transitioning away from manual processes.”
- “Norma UK recognizes the critical role of decarbonization in the manufacturing sector and has initiated additional investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy generation, further detailed in the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting section.”

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
