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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “The company has positioned itself to take advantage of the recovery in markets following the COVID pandemic and Ukraine conflict, and has delivered an 85% increase in turnover while operational efficiencies have also improved the gross margin percentage. As a result, profit before tax has increased by more than four times from £8.4m to £34.4m.”
- “It is also pleasing to see an increase in Renewable Energy products delivered during the year and the Renewable order book improving, although the significant increase in Oil and Gas activity has resulted in Renewables being a smaller proportion of the total turnover now representing 7% of turnover.”
- “We have invested significantly in our business during the year to improve production quality and efficiency, as well as building resilience into our processes. We have also invested in the development of new products through R&D and creating an on-site wave and current simulation area to enhance our R&D capability.”
