- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Turnover for the year ended 31 January 2025 was £12,542,752 down from £13,033,331 in 2024 a 3.8% decrease. This modest decline reflects timing differences in export orders, cautious procurement in core markets, and sector-wide cost pressures. Gross profit fell to £3,717,865 (2024: £4,887,333), impacted by increased input costs and reduced production volumes. The company also recorded £59,029 profit on asset disposals and £36,127 in interest income, contributing to overall resilience.”

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
