- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Despite the net liabilities position of the company, the directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate having given consideration to the funding requirements of the company together with the confirmation of continued financial support from the ultimate parent company (which, following completion of the Bridgepoint transaction, is Sparkle Topco Limited) and an expectation that the amount owed by and owed to the group undertakings will not be settled within 12 months.”

- IDH 363 Limited 100%
- IDH 403 Ltd 100%
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, on 18 July 2025, the group entered into a binding Share Purchase Agreement whereby funds managed by Bridgepoint Advisors Limited ('Bridgepoint') would acquire a majority shareholding in the company's ultimate parent undertaking, Turnstone Equityco 1 Limited ('the Bridgepoint transaction'). The transaction subsequently completed on 14 October 2025, with Sparkle Bidco Limited acquiring 100% of the share capital of Turnstone Equityco 1 Limited. The group's existing third-party borrowings were also re-financed in full on the same date (see note 22 for further details).”
- “After the year end date and before the signing date of this report, the company has closed one practice and merged two existing practices into one new practice as part of the merge/relocate programme.”
