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

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- PKF Francis Clark
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position and resources, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks. Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and the directors are satisfied that it remains appropriate for the company to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The directors are satisfied with the financial performance for the year ended 31 March 2025. The results for the second half of the year have shown considerable improvement, following a disappointing first half of the year where there were a lack of significant orders.”
- “The UK economy is facing uncertainties including potential recession and tariffs. The economic impact of these events is impossible to accurately predict but the directors are aware that prolonged recession could have a detrimental impact on our customers.”
- “For an extended period there has been a shortage of suitably qualified and experienced engineers and project managers in our sector. As a company we have tried to mitigate this through our apprenticeship scheme and embracing international relocation in order to attract and recruit talent.”
- “The directors have identified that sudden and substantial changes in legislation could create significant financial or operational challenges for the business. An example being inflation in general staff costs arising from National Minimum Wage increases. The company monitors legislation closely in order to plan accordingly.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
