- 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 the 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
- “Revenue for the group decreased in 2024 versus the previous year, this was due mainly to the depressed sales following some disruption to the group's German operations.. As a result of this, the loss before taxation in 2024 increased to £683,418 (2023 - £224,908).”
