Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio Trend 2023-12-312024-12-31
Operating margin 40.5%-3.9%
Net margin 31.8%5.5%

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the directors believe that the Company has sufficient resources to continue its activities for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of financial statements (the going concern period). In making this assessment, the directors have considered the current balance sheet, expected run-off projections, expected credit losses, profitability, cash flows and capital resources. Accordingly, the directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and, therefore, have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
