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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“Despite less favourable market conditions year on year the directors remain confident in the future demand for the group's services. These dynamics, on top of the streamlined cost base means the directors strongly feel the business is better placed for future success. The group remains committed to retaining, hiring and investing in the best staff and managers to return to growth. As a result of the above, and supported by forecasts for the group to 31 December 2026, the directors believe the company to be a going concern.”

Significant events

• “2024 has been a challenging year across the recruitment sector with the realisation of the economic headwinds which appeared in the second part of 2022 and continued since.”
