- 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
- “During the year, the company achieved the Social Value Quality Mark Silver accreditation, further reinforcing its commitment to creating a positive and lasting impact within the communities it serves. This achievement reflects the strong engagement of employees across the business, whose collective efforts enabled the company to exceed its Key Value Indicator (KVI) target by raising and donating more than £15,000 to charitable and community causes. The company's next objective is to achieve the Social Value Quality Mark Gold by 2027.”
- “Coyle Personnel also continued to make progress on its environmental agenda during the year, through improved energy efficiency, greater use of renewable energy, and ongoing waste reduction initiatives across its offices. These actions support the company's target of halving Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 against its 2021 baseline.”
- “On 30 September 2025 the shares of Greencastle Holdings Limited were acquired by Blackwater Capital Holdings Limited, a company registered in Jersey. Blackwater Capital Holdings Limited is jointly controlled by C Coyle, Ms A Coyle and S Coyle.”
