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
“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
- “Turnover decreased by 43.47% from £30m to £16.9m.”
- “Dividends of £200K were paid in 2024.”
- “Economic: Sales of refrigerated semi-trailers are sensitive to changes in transport costs, energy and rising raw material prices. Inflation has a negative impact on consumer demand.”
