Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has adequate resources and facilities to continue to meet financial obligations as they fall due and taking all relevant matters into consideration the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company can continue to operate and accordingly they have presented financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Energy prices continue to be an issue, particularly since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. However, this steep increase is expected to be significantly mitigated by the Group investment in solar power leading to a CO2 saving in the year and going forward a reduced demand on power required from the National Grid.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
