- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through the group's centralised treasury arrangements, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on the ultimate parent company, Sulzer AG, not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to the group, and providing additional financial support during that period, and previous periods. The support sought and received from Sulzer AG is legally binding. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and consequently have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In the year 2024 we witnessed a significant improvement in market activity, which the business has capitalized on. New projects increased with an increase in profitability and volume, which has helped stabilise and improve the year's performance.”
- “The business has secured some long term service agreements which help forecasting and gave the business some certainty on customer activities moving into 2025 and beyond”
- “Throughout 2024, we have some large contracts negotiations finalised, which many were executed in 2024 and into 2025.”

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
