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
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “a significant contract win that started within the year. The growth was seen in both our Manned Guarding and Key, Patrol and Response divisions. During this period, we were also able to continue to expand our client base into new industries to help strengthen the company longer term.”
- “For the 2026 financial year, despite adding to our client base in retail and other non-retail industries, unfortunately we lost a large contract that will limit our turnover and profitability growth, but will hopefully keep us close to 2025 levels.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
