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.”
Significant events
- “Profit on ordinary activities before taxation has decreased to £2,015,915 (11.94%) (2024: £1,799,411 (12.09%)). The decrease is attributable to certain customers struggling in the current climate and therefore the amount of work available has decreased.”
- “Dividends declared and paid in the year amounted to £1,200,000 (2024 - £1,700,000).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
