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
“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 group's and the parent 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
- “Temporary manpower revenues increased by £1,672,479 over the previous year. There was a further reduction in permanent placement revenues, this ran in parallel with the UK economy slowing down during the year.”
- “The Company further developed and improved it's client retention and business development strategy which assisted in creating stronger client relationships and winning new business across FPR Group.”
- “The Company authorised the refurbishment of the Havant office.”
- “The UK economy experienced high inflation rates during 2023 and after increased interest rates, inflation started to reduce. Unfortunately, high inflation, increased interest rates and global events resulted in a slow performing UK economy. The skill shortages within the UK continued to fuel wage growth in certain sectors.”
- “A new central server has been established and the network of offices have been connected to the new server. A new recruitment management system has been introduced into one of our key divisions.”
