Significant events
- “Net assets are unchanged year on year although cash has been depleted, falling from £2.84M to £1.51M. This movement is fuelled by the increased debtor balance at £3.34M (2023: £2.08M), driven by increased client acquisitions/advances and deposits landing in 2025 following activity about the year end.”
