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's ability to continue as a going concern is assessed in conjunction with that of the Group as it is dependent upon the ability of other companies within the Group to settle their trading debts with the Company. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking into account the strong financial standing of Group debtors and their reliable track record of settling debts within 30 days, demonstrate that the Company has adequate resources to continue operating for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the financial statements. Therefore the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Group recorded 2 LTIs in the year ended 31 March 2025, which is a decrease from 3 LTIs recorded in the prior year.”
- “The Company's average score for the year ended 31 March 2025 has increased to 98%, versus 94% in the prior year comparative period for Low Carbon Technology Customer Satisfaction.”
