- Whitings LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. No 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
- “In 2025, the company completed construction of a new £12.7m premises (market value), which marks a significant milestone in the company's strategic expansion. The financing and initiation of construction of this facility was a core focus in the 2024 financial year. The internal fit-out is now underway, with the facility expected to enhance operational capacity and enable us to meet growing customer demand well into the future.”
- “In 2025 the company also successfully concluded a legal dispute regarding the protection of its intellectual property. The opposing party withdrew before the scheduled hearing, bringing the matter to a close without the need for court proceedings.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
