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

Significant events
- “The company’s revenue for 2025 was £7,420,670 compared with £10,223,861 in 2024, representing a reduction year-on-year. This decrease reflects lower levels of capital equipment sales and more cautious customer investment decisions during the period.”
- “The company also recorded an operating loss of £444,011 compared to an operating profit of £564,623 in 2024. This movement was primarily driven by the reduction in turnover and lower gross margin contribution, despite continued control over administrative and distribution expenses.”
- “The net loss for the year was £368,543 compared with a net profit of £426,300 in the prior year. While profitability declined, the directors maintained a disciplined approach to expenditure and preserved the company’s core operational capability and technical expertise.”
- “The 2025 financial year represented a period of adjustment for the company, with turnover declining and an operating and net loss recorded. The reduction in revenue was primarily driven by lower levels of capital equipment sales and cautious customer operating; however, the company maintained core technical capability, protected its customer relationships, and exercised disciplined cost control throughout the year.”
