Significant events

• “In 2024, East Kilbride reported revenue of £1,931k, a 5.8% increase from £1,825k in 2023. This growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of customers from Surface Technology (Leeds) Limited, which ceased operations during the year.”
• “One of the Company's our largest customers entered into administration in 2024 and its loss significantly impacted sales performance during 2024.”
• “Additionally, one of our customers filed for liquidation during the year, resulting in a bad debt write-off of approximately £100k, which has been reflected in our statutory accounts.”
• “Despite the increased fixed production overheads some cost pressures arising from rental cost reviews during 2024, the closure of its fellow subsidiary Surface Technology (Leeds) Limited has enabled the Company to secure a number of new customers, which is expected to positively impact turnover and profitability going forward.”

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
