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

Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The Group enjoyed a couple of years of rapid growth after the pandemic period. Geo-political and other economic factors saw a slowdown as 2024 progressed leading to a tightening of margins. 2025 has started in a subdued way but we expect to see further growth in 2025.”
- “The group enjoyed two years of rapid growth after the pandemic period followed by a period of consolidation. Government actions in the UK and abroad have led to higher employer taxes which in turn has led to a challenging trading environment. Uncertainty as to events in Europe and the Middle East have added to a sense of loss of business confidence across the board. The group cannot escape these influences, but we are well positioned in supplying manufacturing companies which have very strong order books. The group expect to see further growth in 2025.”
