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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “KLMUK returned to profitability in 2024. Increased volumes, charge rates and efficiency helped drive turnover to £50.2m (2023: £42.3m) and profit to £2.8m (2023: loss of £1m).”
- “It is anticipated that Airbus 320 NEO capability will be added to Base Maintenance in the near future and volumes with this product will grow year on year.”
- “In 2024 we complied with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ("CSRD") and continued to focus on reducing our impact on the environment.”
- “Our Hangar 9 facility, which opened in 2021, has 735 solar panels on the roof, producing 207MWh in 2024 (2023: 223MWh). This reduced our carbon emissions by 39.54 tCO2e (Carbon Dioxide Equivalent) (2023: 44.82 tCO2e).”
- “In 2024 we have more than doubled our electric cars to 11 (2023: 5 electric cars) on the road saving an estimated 14.91 tCO₂e (2023: 4.12 tCO2e) since the scheme was started.”
- “This year we implemented the Supplier Sustainability Code of Conduct to which over 80% of our aircraft parts approved suppliers are signed up.”
- “The Company also established a Charity Committee, focusing on collaborating with local and national charities to support their initiatives.”
