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
“The company's balance sheet remained stable during the year despite the payment of a £3m dividend during the year. The directors do not feel that it is exposed to significant concentrations of price, credit, liquidity, or any cash flow risks.”
Significant events
- “During the 2024 financial year, the company moved into new premises in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire. The company's previous offices in St Albans, Herts. were sold in the same year. 2025 is therefore the first full year in the new property without the additional costs of retaining 2 separate properties.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
