- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has net liabilities of £13,532,699 as at 31 December 2024. At the time of approving the financial statements, based on approved forecasts and the confirmation of ongoing group support, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the company settled a claim from a key customer for a singular issue that will be non-recurring. The company secured associated compensation from a Supplier to the Company in May 2025 for the same issue and this compensation will be shown in 2025 Company accounts. The issue nor the settlement are expected to alter the long term trading relationship between the entity and the Customer or its Supplier.”
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
