Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company is benefiting from a cash pooling agreement with the Group. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Order intake slowed in 2024 due to overcapacity in the market. There are signs in 2025 that this will rebound and order intake in the first quarter of 2025 showed improvements against the 4th quarter of 2024.”
- “The ongoing war in Ukraine means that there are no sales to companies based in Russia. This has no material impact on business - sales in 2024 were £0 (2023 £0).”
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. 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
