- Albert Goodman LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The year under review continued the positive trends for the future. As always, ongoing challenges remain but supply chain issues due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine continue to be unsettled but ongoing.”
- “Business costs unfortunately continue to increase and every step forward with efficiencies is sharply eroded by Government policy.”
- “Global demand continues to remain slow in electronics and semi conductor sectors, but this continues to be offset by improved interest in scientific, medical and defence markets, aided by further investment in our sheetmetal and fabrication areas.”
- “Government strategy continues to stifle UK business with upward pressure on wages and employment costs, and the erosion of our ability to compete in Global markets are a cause for concern.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
