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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

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 group's and parent 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 grew by 28% year-on-year and this, together with a more stable market for prime costs, helped generate an increase in gross profit of 27.7%.”
• “The group has focussed on increasing and diversifying the range of products available, ensuing such products are available at differing price points, so as to meet each potential customer's budget.”
• “The group has invested heavily in expanding its product range, with a particular focus on products with green credentials.”
• “Some of the group's traditional operations are particularly vulnerable to UK weather conditions, which are becoming ever more extreme. This risk is managed by continual investment in capital projects, research and development and product diversification, providing as much protection as possible during periods of adverse weather.”
