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
- “Turnover in 2024 was £45.6m, a 41% decrease compared to £77.2m in 2023.”
- “With the reduction in sales we have reduced our permanent employee numbers to 98 at the end of the year (2023: 103).”
- “The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to have a negative impact on supply of some raw materials although the effects have lessened.”
- “There remains uncertainty surrounding Global Finance, primarily around the increased costs of borrowing, investors are now more controlled in their funding of infrastructure projects.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
