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

- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence over a period greater than 12 months, in line with its strategic plan. The directors have considered the company's liquidity and expect it shall have sufficient cash reserves in order to meet liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover has reduced to £25,046,215, a reduction of 4.3% in the year. The reduction in turnover is largely due to deferral and cancellation of planned works by customers, with a further reduction anticipated in 2025/26, as a result of economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the company's continued standing in the industry, through its high reputation for quality service, places the company in a strong position to deliver on projects from existing customers and new customers alike.”
