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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 0.6% | 1.9% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 83.3% | 84.4% | |
| Current ratio | 1.19x | 1.22x |
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.

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Accordingly, the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements remains appropriate.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year the Group met its day to day working capital requirements through bank facilities with Virgin Money plc. These facilities were refinanced in October 2023.”
- “The overdraft facility is renewable annually and the current facility expires on 30 June 2026. The revolving credit facility was most recently renewed on 20 October 2023 and is committed to 20 October 2026. The term loan was drawn down on 23 October 2023 and is repayable in full in equal quarterly instalments by 30 September 2028.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
