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

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 directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months. they therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of potential and realistic changes in trading performance, continue to indicate that the Group is able to operate within the level of existing cash resources, which at 31 December 2024 was £73.8m (2023: £58.5m). Management have considered a plausible downturn in cashflow and are satisfied that under such a scenario the Group would maintain sufficient financial headroom to continue operations without constraint. Furthermore, the Company and Group are also able to constrain significant future cash outflows if required. Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
