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

- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 and 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
- “The group was adversely affected by events in its German Subsidiary, interest rates remaining high, and continuing economic uncertainty. 2024, in the UK showed significant revenue growth being 34% higher than 2023, but Germany was 27% down, most of which was in the latter part of the year. ... This result, despite higher revenue and improved gross margin, was driven by high interest costs, wider economic uncertainty (particularly in Germany), and the restructuring of both UK and German operations.”
- “The German company made a loss of €265k vs. €65k profit in 2023. This was driven by several factors, including unplanned senior personnel changes that created uncertainty among clients, reliance on a single major client whose staffing requirements reduced due to economic conditions, and broader changes in the German labour market.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
