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
- “In 2024 we have purchased a plot to build a new factory which can accommodate our growth and future plans for increased recycling to create a closed loop system. This would increase the ability to collect, recycle and reuse our own material, reducing the carbon footprint and reducing the need for new material.”
- “With the increased space and power facilities, this would also increase our ability to implement new machinery, creating more efficiency overall through the manufacturing process.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
