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

- Audit opinion
- Qualified
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 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
- “Our core business grew steadily in 2024 and showed signs of strength as we continued to take market share in key geographies.”
- “Launching new products into the existing network prepared us for further stable growth in existing markets.”
- “OEM business grew fantastically in the year and we remained strong with on time supply of quality products.”
- “Continued high interest rates put pressure on all businesses including ours in 2024.”
- “Cyber attack concerns and general IT disruptions was high on the list of concerns for 2024 as bad actors used Al to leverage a new way of infiltrating business activity.”
- “The business continued to develop its footprint and machine capabilities in 2024 ready for a strong period of growth in 2025-2027.”
- “The business took the decision to expand into its new building and prepare it for further production space including clean room manufacturing as well as invest in equipment and people.”
- “Annual revenues showed key markets continuing to mature and OEM business growing strongly.”
- “New product launches helped the growth but will not show strong signs until next year.”
