Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company currently has £233,677,000 of total debt (2024: £254,339,000). The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that it will be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. Long term loans are in place to finance the Energy from Waste facility and cash flow is sufficient to meet the Company's operational cash commitments. Having taken account of all available information and forecasts for the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and having performed the appropriate sensitivity analysis; the directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
