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
“The directors, having assessed future profit forecasts and the level of financial support available, where necessary, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists about the ability of the company to ensure that is can continue as a going concern for a period of at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the company has grown organically delivering larger scale projects. This has resulted in turnover decreasing by 8.9% to £15.5M. Despite challenging market conditions, the company has grown Operating Profit and EBITDA”
