- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a minimum of fifteen months after the date accounts are signed. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual accounts.”
Significant events
- “General market conditions within the UK steel industry remained extremely competitive in 2024 after global steel prices started to stabilise towards more normal levels after the historical highs experienced in many markets during 2021 and 2022 alongside the decreases in 2023.”
- “During the year a number of initiatives have been investigated or undertaken to reduce the Company's carbon emissions, including trials of HVO/Bio-diesel in the Company's own HGV fleet and a move towards a full electric employee vehicle fleet (75% conversion to date). Electric Fork Lift trucks are also undergoing trials at one of the sites.”

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
