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

- Affirmed
“The directors continue to assess the financial position of the company and in particular the impact of external factors on profitability and the resources available to meet its future liabilities and commitments. The company has recognised the possibility for clients to experience financial difficulties which could directly impact its cash reserves. The directors continue to monitor outstanding debtor balances and make sure issues are addressed promptly. We track debtors performance, and the performance of debt recovery was stable over the last two years. The new methods of working adopted in the pandemic have been adjusted but we maintain the ability to work remotely. We have strengthened our IT systems to make some of these changes more permanent while hosting more staff and clients in our offices once more. During this time, the company has also secured new work whilst indirectly making further cost savings relating to travel and office costs. The directors consider the measures taken to be sufficient to enable the business to continue as a going concern given they support the projections for the next twelve months and demonstrate sufficient reserves to meet its obligations going forward.”

Significant events
- “During the year ended 31 March 2025, BWT acquired Bryden Wood Technology S.r.L, Bryden Wood Technology S.L, and Bryden Wood Limited. As such, the comparative figures for year ended 31 March 2024 do not include the results of these entities. The excess of consideration paid over the net assets of these entities has been shown as goodwill in the current year financial statements.”
- “Three company 'domains', in place of disciplines, were created during this period which together signal a new company structure.”
- “BWT expanded their HR function to include a new HR director to improve processes, update policies, and create a new HR strategy to improve employee engagement and retention, streamline talent search, and ensure all policies are aligned with the latest requirements.”
- “BWT's Barcelona team (which was previously spread across two separate office spaces) moved to a single, larger office in the same building.”
- “During this reporting period, work began to create and launch new company branding (including a new logo, a new design system, and new colour palette).”
