Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have considered the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. We are a leading worldwide manufacturer recognised internationally for our top-quality engineering, manufacturing and customer experience. The business continues to benefit from a strong order book, long term customer relationships and demand across a market that is seeing increased growth and investment internationally. Management works together to provide detailed forecasts and cashflow projections which take into account expected sales volumes, production capacity and potential risks such as raw material costs, supply chain challenges and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has adequate banking facilities in place and maintains a steady and reliable working capital position. Forecasts demonstrate that the business will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and has sufficient headroom in its financing facilities to manage reasonably foreseeable downside scenarios. Accordingly, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
