- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company had net current assets of £2,546,000 at 31 December 2024, compared to £4,646,000 as at 31 December 2023 and is considered by the directors to be liquid. The cash and cash equivalents balance remain well within the banking facilities available to the company. The directors have reviewed projected cashflows and consider that the company can continue to meet its liabilities for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “2024 was a year with challenges but also an opportunity to make good progress with some strategic projects. Domestically the UK economy had weak growth in the year and this impacted the company's customers in the construction, transport and other markets. The company successfully completed a significant capital investment project, £1.4m in a new billet oven and launched BOAL BLUE product offering.”

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
