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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

“The directors have reviewed the cashflow forecasts covering at least 12 months from the date of this report. The latest projections show that the company is dependent on the support of parent companies Wimbledon Topco Limited and Staysure Holdings Limited. They have confirmed that they will continue to support the company for a period of 12 months from the date of this report. The directors have assessed the ability of both parents to support the company, and have concluded that they have the ability to support.”

Significant events

• “On 31 January 2025 the company reached an agreement with HMRC as regards amounts due to it for over-recovery of input VAT spanning periods Q1 2020 to Q1 2024. As a result £1,679,928 was reclassified from Provisions to Current liabilities, and is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements under other taxation and social security.”
• “On 03 March 2025 the company received notification from the UK Supreme Court that it had lost an appeal relating to a trademark infringement. The company was a co-defendant in the litigation and since the reporting date has paid to the claimant £50,000 in final settlement on account of their legal costs. This was recovered from a connected co-defendant and has been recognised in amounts owed by fellow group undertakings at the reporting date. The company is expecting to incur outflows in relation to damages and a contingent liability in relation to this has been disclosed in notes to the financial statements.”
• “On 25 March 2025, the company announced its intention to enter into a period of collective consultation with its employees concerning a restructuring of its back-office business, which concluded on 23 May 2025. It has been decided that 26 employee's of the company will be made redundant over the course of 2025 and 2026, at an estimated total cost of £464,949. This is a non-adjusting event on the basis that a detailed formal plan for the restructure was not available at the reporting date.”
