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 & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- GBAC Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2023-24 has been a challenging year for the company. We have seen a slight increase in construction activity which has improved demand for our products, however there remains a production over capacity in the UK market for our products, which has a continuing negative effect on unit sales prices.”
- “Costs within the business continue to rise with Direct and In-Direct costs all on the upward trend and further increases predicted in 2025.”
- “Analysts predict the UK economy to grow by 2% in 2025, and with a reported 14% improvement in large Construction Project in Q4 of 2024, we remain optimistic that the new year will bring improved trading conditions to our market.”
- “This year, the company's turnover has remained constant, however unit volume has increased. The primary effect of the decline in gross margin has been an increase in the cost of materials and shipping.”
