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

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the forecast income, expenditure and cash flows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and thus meet its liabilities as they fall due. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “2024 saw a change of management in late Q3 with a mandate to simplify and consolidate the business in readiness of strategic growth in 2025, together with identifying a TOM (Target Operating Model) that leverages the skills within the business in a more efficient manner including headcount control across all departments within the organisation.”
• “Commercial challenges including U/W profitability continue within the LEI market where certain distribution channels see new market entrants with limited experience in specialised channels.”
• “A review of other lines, notably Home Emergency Services whereby a strategic decision to outsource services has been undertaken and this move during Q2 / Q3 2025 will enable better cost control and ability to adapt scale in line with demand.”
• “A process of product standardisation and simplicity is currently under way and will conclude in mid-2025 enabling easier management of business activity in line with increasing expectations under the Consumer Duty as set by the financial regulator the FCA.”
