Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-29 vs 2023-12-29

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

Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors believe to be appropriate as outlined below. The Directors have prepared forecasts to 30 June 2026, based on revenue run rates in the early part of 2025. These demonstrate that the Group is forecast to generate cash and that the Group has sufficient cash reserves and headroom in borrowing facilities to enable the Group to meet its obligations as they fall due. The forecasts assume a continuation of revenue run rates experienced in the early part of 2025, together with some modest new business gains.”
