Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to the Balance Sheet in the financial statements, which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of £2,207,596 during the year ended 31 December 2024 and, as of that date, the company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £2,742,468. As stated in note 1.2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 1.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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

Significant events
- “Foreign exchange losses of £2,031,906 (2023 - £1,483,422) have been recognised resulting, primarily, from the depreciation of the Nigerian Naira.”
- “While the directors acknowledge the second year of losses, they continue with the implementation of strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing revenue, improving gross profit margins, and optimising cost control measures. These actions are expected to strengthen the company's financial position moving forward and year-to-date results for 2025 continue to show a return to profit.”
