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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors do not consider there to be a material uncertainty in relation to the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate.”

Significant events

• “Navigating the prevailing economic climate has been a challenge for management as a result of some reductions in demand, the impact of low cost production particularly in China and India and an increase in operating costs within the UK.”
• “Cost increases have related principally to significant uplifts in energy and employment costs, inevitably leading to some erosion in margin. A tight labour market with a lack of potential recruits with the necessary skills to readily contribute also adds to the challenge.”
• “Our culture is however to confound these setbacks and we have successfully attracted new customers with our commitment to, and reputation for, quality, timely delivery and controlling costs. We have also maintained our commitment to investing in our people and the technology which is fundamental to our progress.”
