Significant events
- “During 2022, there was a significant global shortage of semi-conductor parts leading to shut-downs of most motor manufacturers. This lead to reduced demand from the manufacturers which decreased the Company's sales.”
- “The closure of Toyoda Gosei in June 2023, has an impact on the Company, being approximately 5% of sales In January 2022 NPAUK took over the BKUK business, with an annual turnover of approximately £1.2 million which has helped to off-set the loss of business.”

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
