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 has had a profitable year reporting a profit before tax of £3,122,280 (2024: £898,124). The directors are pleased to report the strategic changes made within the business have provided the expected growth in turnover and gross profit. Gross margin has increased from 12.2% in the previous year to 15.9%.”
- “The directors have paid an interim dividend of £1,000,000 (2024: £450,000) and they do not recommend the payment of a final dividend (2024: nil).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
