Going concern

Affirmed

“On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position, the Company's Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements for the 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statement (the going concern period).”

Significant events

• “Turnover decreased by 2.7%. This was mainly due to challenging market conditions across much of the business both in the UK and wider EMEAI region.”
• “Raw material cost pressures have moderated during the period, providing support to gross margins and mitigating the impact of the turnover reduction.”
• “Payroll costs have increased, primarily due to wage inflation and additions to headcount to support future growth.”
• “Depreciation charges have also risen, reflecting the completion and commissioning of capital investment projects.”
• “Profit before taxation has decreased in 2024 mainly due to the reduction in turnover and increased overheads being only partially offset by the increased profit margins.”

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
