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

“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 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.”

- “In Nov 2024 Hardscape celebrated its 30th birthday.”
- “Hardscape Surfaces and the wider group is employee owned by virtue of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), and in 2025 will mark its third year of employee ownership.”
- “In 2024 the Group will celebrate its 30th Anniversary with all members of staff and business partners and will be organising a series of events and commemorations to celebrate this feat.”
