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
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Azets Audit Services
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have 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
- “The Ukrainian War and embargos to trade in Russia have still brought challenges to the Qcel business in 2024 and into 2025. The impact of conflict in the Red Sea and attacks on vessels continues with routes taking longer and less vessel options resulting in high shipping costs for both the Beads and Qcel business.”
- “The company in 2024 continued to invest in the cullet business in Barnsley and in improving the manufacturing facilities in West Auckland.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
