- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared and reviewed detailed trading and cash flow projections for a period of more than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors consider that the group has sufficient cash resources to enable the company to continue to meet its debts as they fall due and are confident that the steps that they have taken to mitigate associated risk will ensure that the company is well positioned and will continue to trade for the foreseeable future. Therefore these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “the aerospace sector continues to demonstrate strong recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic and is now on a sustainable long-term growth trajectory.”
- “The three-year fixed-price energy contracts, which proved highly beneficial during the energy market volatility following the onset of the war in Ukraine, have now been renewed at higher rates.”

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
