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
“The company has made a profit for the year of £1,215,522 and reported net current assets of £1,338,968 at the balance sheet date which includes a cash balance of £1,369,613. The company is highly profitable, but the nature of the business and sector makes reliable forecasting difficult. The company benefits from long-standing relationships with its key suppliers and customers. On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position and resources, including the performance of the company since 31 March 2025, and having considered the impact of the wider economy and conditions in the sector the business operates, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors are satisfied that it remains appropriate for the company to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There have been no significant changes in senior directorships apart from the resignation of Andrew Walton from the WCE board and the board of Trustees.”
- “Our largest contract on gas works in the Southwest is due for renewal in the next financial year 26/27. This could potentially be our biggest risk factor in the medium term.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
