- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have considered the budgets and cashflow forecasts for the Company and Group for a period of at least 12 months from signing of the balance sheet and are able to confirm that these documents show that the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors ensure the Group companies only supply customers who are financially sound and only purchase stock and enter into commitments with suppliers where these are backed up by orders or Service Level Agreements with those customers. As such the financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The 12-month period to December 2025 showed a reduction in sales over the previous 12-month period to December 2024. The reduction in sales was due to the business focusing on higher value services as part of a wider Group strategy. Despite the reduction in sales the business was profitable, reflecting the success of the strategic shift.”
- “The Company's switch to a Group wide ERP system is facilitating closer working with other Group companies, particularly in Europe, as the combined capabilities of the various sites offer a broad range of EMS services to OEMs. The wider Group has a strong focus on the medical market, and the Company is working towards ISO 13485 in 2026 to further support that sector.”
