- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The turnover of the company increased slightly on the previous year, with the gross profit margin remaining consistent with the previous year. The company continues to be profitable with an order book continuing well into 2025/2026.”
- “The controls and management systems that have been put in place, continue to allow us to reduce wastage and improve efficiency. Investment into our field IT systems assist in the day to day stock control.”
- “Still one of the biggest challenges to the business is a shortage of labour. The company continues to address this by working closely with various training centres and other organisations.”

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
