Audit opinion

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 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

• “As our capacity continues to grow with the addition of large-format machinery, namely the 8m Bystronic laser machine and the 6m, 500-tonne press brake, we have also invested in a new fleet of vehicles to support these larger projects. The new wagons offer increased load capacity and size, enabling us to manage larger jobs more efficiently while reducing the environmental impact associated with multiple runs.”
• “The company continues to heavily invest in Research & Development, with a primary focus on software driven innovation. Our aim is to enhance every aspect of the business, using software and technology to provide our customers with the best possible levels of service in the industry.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
