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

- Affirmed
“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 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
- “the cancellation of large parts of the HS2 project has had an impact on numbers but some of this has been offset by gains in other areas, such as space and water.”
- “we welcome the new Labour government's decision to push ahead with the plans for Tackling non-compliance in the umbrella company market that are due to take effect in April 2026.”
- “the incidence of major Cyber attacks within the industry has decreased, an increasing number of large corporations have been targeted, so the threat level has increased.”
- “The group has responded to the softer economic conditions in a sensible way, using new technology and flexible hiring policy to minimise cost.”
