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
“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 Group's or the parent 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
- “Turnover during the year under review for the group was £29.5m compared with £27.2m in the previous year. Key core customers continue to strengthen against the continuing economic challenges. Our online presence has sustained with a small decline post the Covid increases.”
- “The group had net assets at the year end of £8m and cash reserves of £4m.”
- “After the balance sheet date, the Company reclassified its existing ordinary shares into multiple share classes (Classes A to K). The total number of shares in issue remained unchanged at 55,000, but the reclassification was undertaken to provide flexibility in ownership arrangements and facilitate future transfers into family trusts. This is a non-adjusting event under FRS 102 Section 32, and no changes have been made to the financial statements as at 31 March 2025.”
