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 directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Our financial performance for the year has been remarkably successful. Our turnover and profit for this year were increased from previous years, with turnover in excess of £21m (2023: £10.3m (unaudited)) and pre-tax profits of £3.9m (2023: £1.1m (unaudited)).”
- “These positive results coincide with the implementation of the practice's succession plan that has widened the ownership of the practice to 15 members of the existing team. The transition to a collective ownership model, together with our distinctive design and social ethos, establishes an exciting approach to growing the practice.”
- “Work completed over the last 12 months or so includes the practice's new Waterloo Station, alongside the city's Central Station completed by JMP in 2023, both key elements within Sydney Metro, Australia's biggest public transport project. Other important completions include the British Museum's Archaeological Collection research facility in Reading.”
- “Additionally, the practice's landscape team is nearing completion of London's Sloane Street masterplan transforming its public realm into an urban green corridor, whilst the Edinburgh studio is leading on the Avenues and George Square environmental infrastructure project in Glasgow.”
- “Looking forward to the financial year of 2024/2025, the practice expects to surpass this year's financial performance due to the strong pipeline of secured new commissions in the UK and internationally.”
