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
- “Following a challenging 2023, which included the loss of our largest contract, the business has responded strongly. Although we lost this major contract in 2023, we regained a proportion of the work during the last six months of 2024 and have now secured a large proportion of it for 2025.”
- “The re-emergence of global trade tensions, including the tariff war instigated by U.S. President Donald Trump.”
- “UK Spring Statement 2025 provided some positive signals, including a modest easing of fiscal policy, continued support for businesses through capital allowance schemes, and a reaffirmed commitment to controlling inflation.”
- “New contracts secured during 2024 exceeded our targets and helped drive overall performance.”
- “The Employee Benefit Trust was set up on 29th October 2024, purchasing shares in Random Factor Limited previously held by Jeremy Leigh Roberts. The purchase price was set at £266,667, with no restrictions relating to the assets and liabilities of the Employee Benefit Trust.”
