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

Significant events
- “The 2024 financial year has been a difficult year for the business with group turnover reducing to £9.2m due to the recent downturn in the architecture industry leading to a temporary decrease in business activity combined with a slowdown in clients committing to projects.”
- “We have had to re-structure the business internally and streamline our cost base to place us in a better position to shield ourselves from the slowdown.”
- “year-end 2024 saw big drops in revenue in the higher education and healthcare sectors compared to 2023. This was mainly due to the uncertainty within the UK marketplace with high interest rates, as well as the outcome of the election in July 24.”
- “Our growing workload in Cyprus has allowed us to grow a small team and also retain our ability to trade in mainland Europe as registered architects. Cyprus revenues and profits have grown during 2024 and we expect this to continue and enable us to grow our presence in Europe and internationally.”
- “Our R+D process has strengthened significantly in the last year as we work more closely with our advisors Leyton on developing government recognised activities, supported by HMRC tax relief.”
- “During YE 2025, two key board members left the company, a development that has impacted on our business.”
- “On 21 May 2024 the group disposed of its 100% holding in Adpak Limited following a planned cessation of trade and dissolution.”
- “The company has paid further contributions amounting to £87,500 towards the original deferred consideration liability to The ADP Employee Ownership Trust between the year end and the date the accounts are approved.”
- “Since the year end an amount of £54,000 has been settled towards this contract by way of gifts to the EOT.”
- “Since the year end £79,605 has been settled towards this contract by way of gifts to the EOT.”
