Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Whilst the director recognises that current trading conditions are difficult due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, the improvement in the Group's order book and the available liquidity support the director's view that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The ongoing war in Ukraine has negatively impacted lead times for the supply of raw materials. Although shipping prices are decreasing from their recent highs after President Trump's tariffs announcements, the supply of Inconel (nickel alloy) remains unreliable and is negatively impacting on the company's deliveries. Tensions have also caused volatility in foreign exchange rates particularly relating to the US dollar.”
- “There has been further investment of new machinery to increase capacity in readiness for important changes within the API Technical Accreditation Supply Chain.”
- “Following US President Trump's last presidency term, Beck Prosper Limited (BPL) changed its supply chain to minimise the level of tariffs applied to Chinese imports into the US.”
- “In March 2024 a new asset-based financing structure was completed with BZ Commercial Finance DAC, and the Group's revolving credit facility and terms loans with Midcap Financial were repaid in full.”

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
