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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Azets Audit Services Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, 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
- “In 2024/25, the company finished the financial year with an increase in sales of 7.55% (£11m) compared to 2023/24 (£10.22m) despite severe trading disruption due to fluctuating market conditions globally and continued high interest rates affecting market confidence throughout the year.”
- “There are continued and significate labour shortages, both skilled and unskilled, within our manufacturing sector, and significant issues with operator and staff retention have continued throughout the year.”
- “Fluctuating market conditions are still extremely volatile following the changes in government and newly introduced Labour policies, which will continue to prove a challenge, alongside continued market and tariff disruptions created by the current US President.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
