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

“The Company has continued to trade profitably during 2024. The directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the 12 months from the date of this report.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, we announced a new organisational design, unifying our Partnership and National wealth advisory operations... The Company also continued to benefit from the Group's ongoing focus on the Downstream Buy Out (DBO) model.”
- “These improvements are the result of organic growth, stronger market conditions in 2024 compared to 2023, which led to higher fee income and the continued success of the Downstream Buy Out (DBO) programme”
