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
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the director believes to be appropriate. Having reviewed the Group's financial forecasts and expected future cash flows, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources available to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the director continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025.”

Significant events
- “Turnover fell by 5.5% from £602.9m to £569.7m and Earnings Before Interest, Taxation and Depreciation ("EBITDA") decreased from £3.4m to £2.9m (a reduction of 14.7%) while net assets grew by 4.5% to £1.87m from £1.79m. The fall in turnover and EBITDA was largely driven by challenging market conditions, particularly in the construction sector, and a shift towards PAYE structures in major infrastructure projects. In response, management has implemented a number of strategic initiatives including continued investment in automation and software development to enhance operational efficiency, the refinement of service offerings to align with evolving client requirements, and the development of new products and adjacent market opportunities designed to diversify revenue streams and reduce dependency on any single sector.”
