- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “2024 was a year of mixed results for the group due to a combination of demand volatility and intemal improvement actions required to drive long-term success.”
- “Our US Operations is where we experienced out bigger challenge as a business. This operation has grown at a fast rate over the last 5 years and several growing pains emerged as a result. Through 2024 we decided to reset our focus to ensure we are able to perform to the highest levels in terms of quality, capacity and service level.”
- “Through 2025 we have identified tariffs and the risk of global trade wars as the principal risk to our business. Such a situation could have both short and long-term impacts to demand and supply chains.”
- “In our US business labour remains a specific risk to that business unit. We have made a lot of progress over the last 12 months on our approach to recruitment and retention of staff, and feel those strategies will remain effective through subsequent years.”
- “The business outlook for 2025 looks challenging, but we have a quiet confidence we can achieve both top line growth and improved profitability vs 2024. This is based on a healthy pipeline of new business opportunities, and the fruition of the improvement work undertaken over the last year.”

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
