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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In its first full year as part of the Cardo Group of companies, the business has continued to grow its operations into new geographical locations and has developed relationships with new and existing clients.”
- “The Cardo Group have also made some acquisitions during the current year under review and some of these acquisitions have been hived down into the company due to its geographical footprint and relationship with their existing client base.”
- “FY25 has seen the company renew several of its frameworks/contracts, typically for a further 3-4 years. During the period, the company has also been awarded multiple new frameworks/contracts.”
- “The company has continued to invest in people, employing further 'in house' operatives, in lieu of a reliance on using sub-contractors.”
- “Steps taken in the last year to employ personnel with reputable and experienced backgrounds and the investment in several new posts across the business to support organic growth expected in the coming years, has contributed to the expected growth in Net Profit before tax.”
- “Within the period, the company has continued to invest in its own IT systems, within the Group environment.”
