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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The management of the business and the execution of the group's strategy are subject to a number of risks. Risks are rigorously monitored and regularly reviewed by the Board and appropriate processes put in place to manage and mitigate them. The key business risks affecting the group are set out below. Commodity risk: The commodity price of oil has impacted the investment decisions of the major pipeline organisations, reducing large scale investment prospects significantly. The drive for net zero has also adversely impacted on investments in the oil and gas industry. The group is investing in new product development to ensure that their product portfolio is diverse to adapt to wider markets and industries. Foreign exchange risk: The group has predominantly international operations so exposure to currency fluctuation are substantial. The group continually monitors the market movements and suitable hedges are used to mitigate this risk.”
- “The global oil market is expected to remain challenging during 2025 with increased uncertainties caused by geopolitics. The director remains confident that continued development of the group's product range, expansion of customer base and new markets will maintain opportunities for the next year and beyond.”
