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
“Future performance plans have been prepared to 31 December 2025 and further consideration has been made for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements. Based on the underlying assumptions of the plan and the pledged continued financial support from the wider Franke group, the directors are confident that the business will have sufficient working capital to continue to operate and meet liabilities when they fall due. On this basis the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “As of 1 January 2025, the factoring arrangement has ceased and therefore, invoices raised after this date are recognised in the financial statements of the company. Trade debtors subject to factoring as at 31 December 2024 were £5,172,000.”
- “Post year end, the directors believe that a significant customer has experienced financial difficulties and as a result, all trading with this customer has been put on hold. All balances outstanding from this customer as at the year end have been paid in full.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
