Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future should it so wish, therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements”
Significant events
- “Following the cessation of certain customer car models and the high cost of maintaining the Group's facility in Aston, the decision was made to cease operations at the plant during 2025, with any remaining residual long term contracts transferred to other sites within the Group. Once the closure activity has been completed it is anticipated that the Sertec Light Stampings Limited legal entity will become dormant.”

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
