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 assessing going concern, the directors have considered the Company's available cash resources, historical and forecast financial performance, and principal risks and uncertainties. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts indicate that the Company is expected to remain profitable and cash generative, with sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due over that period.”

Significant events
- “In December 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its landlords to surrender specific car park access rights previously granted under an existing lease arrangement. As consideration for the surrender, the Company received a one-off payment of £900,000, which has been recognised as other operating income in the profit and loss account for the year.”
- “The redundancy costs incurred during the year, as disclosed above, are a result of a specific European-led restructuring exercise that is now complete in full as at 31 December 2024.”
- “In 2024, the Company has been formally acquitted on all charges that were brought by the Health and Safety Executive. The provision held has been released in full.”
