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
“The directors are viewing 2025 with mild optimism and at the time of approving the financial statements, the company has sufficient resources to enable trading to continue for a period of at least one year from the date of their approval. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “2024 proved to be a mixed year with the market remaining fairly consistent up to the General Election. Clearly any anticipated government support for our Industry did not transpire and with this uncertainty remaining many Customers took a zero investment stance. The caused demand to fall in the later part of the year. Supply chain challenges eased but the sudden downturn led to overstocking across Customers and Suppliers alike. As a business we moved to a more suitable building and took a leaner approach to cost.”
- “In 2024, the company moved its premises from which it operates. As part of the move the company incurred expenditure in relation to dilapidations on the exiting property and refurbishment of the new property which is exceptional to the normal course of business.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
