Companies House lists its business as other research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering. Its most recent accounts were made up to 31 March 2025.

In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 3 directors leaving (latest 31 March 2026), 1 director appointed, a change of registered office on 31 July 2026, 2 charges satisfied and accounts filed on 22 December 2025. It has 1 outstanding charge, held by Close Invoice Finance LTD. It has 6 serving directors.

An administrator's first aim, under the Insolvency Act 1986, is rescuing the company as a going concern; if that is not reasonably practicable, a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up; and failing both, realising property to pay secured or preferential creditors. Source
