Significant events

• “The turnover decreased by £11,094,892 in the year to £29,093,250 (2023: £40,188,142). This is largely due to volume decrease in demand from European customers.”
• “Inventories reduced year on year by £0.9m due to the reduction in turnover.”
• “There has been a reduction in the level of debtors at the year end of £3.1m in comparison with the prior year, similarly the creditors has seen a reduction of £4.5m, most of which has been intercompany related. This is mainly driven by the sales volume reduction.”
• “During the 2024 year end process, it was identified that one of the prior year parent company debtor balances amounting to £2,504,372 had been included in Creditors: amounts falling due within one year amounts owed to parent companies, in error. The 2023 disclosure has been restated accordingly in the company's results to aid comparability.”

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
