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.”
Significant events
- “The Services Company's cashflow position has continued to improve due to no longer having to service any loans or overdrafts, since June 2023.”
- “It has been acknowledged that 2024 was an exceptional year for a number of factors and 2025 is unlikely to repeat this level.”
- “Subsequent to the year end the company signed an extension to the existing lease until 2040.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
