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

- 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 group or 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
- “2024 was a successful, but challenging year. The core business continued to improve with an increase in turnover, and the forward order book is healthy. Our export opportunities also continue to grow, with contracts fulfilled throughout Europe and the Middle East during the year, with future contracts awarded in other territories. Challenges remain in bringing historical contracts in line with today's market conditions.”
- “Investment in innovation, new products and technologies remain at the heart of the business, this brings its own challenges both financially and in terms of resource, however the group remain firm on moving the products forward.”
- “The external bank debt was repaid in the current year which has further strengthened the group's position.”
