Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Crowe U.K. 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. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Our parent company "Continental AG" has also undertaken a restructure in its Contitech division under which we report, this is designed to increase responsiveness to customers and to create a better and understanding of future market needs. The parent company announced on 8 April 2025 its intention to explore a sale of Contitech division and is reviewing actions to achieve this.”
- “During the year there was a health and safety incident involving one employee who suffered a severe burn. The company has provided all relevant information to the HSE who have acknowledged the incident but as of yet have not contacted the company to investigate. It is not practical at the reporting date to determine the financial effect on the company.”
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
