Significant events
- “2024 saw a return to a more normal macroeconomic environment, with lower inflation, but still a low growth economy. The company continued to demonstrate how resilient our business model is. Turnover increased by 4.8% to £63m with Equipment Orders up by 12.6% and we saw YOY revenue growth across all divisions. We continued to invest in additional Headcount during the year especially on external sales positions, as we look to continue our growth in 2025 and beyond. We continue to be careful in terms of our credit policies as we have seen more small companies go into administration in the last 12 months, with particular emphasis on reducing past due amounts. The early indicators in 2025 are promising, we are seeing continued revenue growth across all streams and strong order performance to start the year.”
- “The company continues to invest to sustain growth with purchases of new Hire equipment of £7.9m and continued investment in our Totton HQ facility including upgrading of lighting and installation of EV charging points. The new company website designed to enhance and simplify the customer experience also went live in 2024.”

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
