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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The company experienced a decline in turnover, primarily due to the conclusion of the post-COVID economic surge and broader market challenges.”
- “To support this strategy and drive future growth, additional team members have been recruited to enhance operational capacity and maximise long-term profitability.”
- “A pivotal highlight of this year has been our significant investment of over £2.5 million in the creation of a new entity within the group.”
- “The company has commenced investment in the development of a fully integrated, reporting and quality control processes that will ensure its staff have access to the latest technology in recording and communicating data, and analysis to its customers with the implementation of new computer systems in April 2024.”
