- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The auditors concluded the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate and identified no material uncertainties casting significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the financial statements authorisation date.”
Significant events
- “2024/25 was a year of strong revenue growth for Unitrust, which included the full-year impact of high profile contract wins from 2023/24, further contract wins during the year, and the impact of significant ad hoc work with established clients. Profits have increased compared to the prior year due to the strong sales performance.”
- “This year's events included the London to Brighton sponsored cycle ride in aid of White Ribbon (a charity working to end men's violence against women), food collection for the Trussell Trust, Christmas present donations as part of the KidsOut Giving Tree initiative and coffee mornings for Macmillan Cancer Support.”
