“At 31 December 2025 the company had net current liabilities of £10,102,855 (2024: £4,444,108) and net assets of £5,846,035 (2024: 6,069,895).

Significant events
- “Combined with higher direct costs, including increased energy expenses after the expiry of a five-year-fixed-rate energy agreement in March 2025, these factors created challenging trading conditions and resulted in some erosion of overall margins for the year.”
- “During the year, the outstanding bank loan was fully repaid and replaced with an additional intercompany loan of £5million.”
