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 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
- “The Simkiss Senior Management team demonstrated strength and resiliency despite significant local, regional, and national challenges in 2023/24. Although we encountered relentless inflation, less-than-optimal raw material availability, an armed conflict in Europe, emerging recessionary concerns, and other challenges, we continue to grow our business and have achieved the following: Employee headcount: Growth of 17% to 102 (2023: 87).”
- “The risk posed to ongoing growth through lack of available space for employees and equipment had become significant over the past 18 months, and a decision was made to relocate the company to larger premises. Complete relocation of the company was finalised after the year end in December 2024 with minimal disruption to manufacturing and other services.”
- “Successful revenue growth with current blue-chip clients across power and utility industries.”
- “Strengthened the organisational structure of each of the three Divisions with targeted recruitment, improvement to systems and processes, to support further significant growth in the short and longer term.”
- “Continued to develop our 'people of the future' by increasing the number of apprentices to 12, representing 10% of our employed workforce.”
- “Successfully protected and increased gross margins across all divisions while taking the final steps in becoming a living wage employer, which was awarded shortly after the financial year end.”
