- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Director considers that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company is fortunate to be operating in a marketplace that has seen a stable demand and has been much less affected by inflationary pressures than other industrial sectors. Although there can be at times raw material shortages in the industry the excellent relationship with suppliers has ensured the Company is not affected by these shortages. Accordingly, the Director has continued to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company over the years has enjoyed growth within the sector it operates despite the general economic outlook within the UK, the financial effects of the Covid Pandemic, the present inflation rate, and the raw material shortages on occasions that the industry has experienced.”
- “The Company is constantly investing in research and development and looking for innovative ways to upgrade their existing product range and develop replacement products for the future.”
- “The Company continues to strive for growth and with the move in recent years into aluminium products at the Stockport depot this is helping the Company achieve its targets.”

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
