- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis for accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. They are confident the company will be able to pay its liabilities as they fall due and parent company loan will not be recalled within 12 months.”

Significant events
- “The legislation on the use of F-Gases (fluorinated gases) in Europe tightened at the turn of the year, with new mobile mono-block systems requiring F-Gas ratings to be less than 150GWP (Global Warming Potential). Our newly developed systems operate on an A2L gas 'R455a', which has a GWP rating of 148.”
- “On the 3rd April 2025, the group was acquired by Devonshire Bidco Limited. The ultimate parent undertaking became KKR & Co. Inc.”

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
