- 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 group's and parent 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
- “The balance sheet saw a 4.6% decrease in shareholders' funds over the course of the year principally due to the disposal of two properties from the Group as party of an overall Group re-organisation.”
- “The main risks to the Group are volatile customer demand due to general economic uncertainty plus the additional uncertainty as a result of the new administration in the US which has introduced a high level of tariffs which, has acted to dampen consumer demand and business investment.”
- “In addition the consolidation of our foundry business from two sites into one caused operational issues in the first half of 2024 which also reduced the turnover of this significant part of the business.”
