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. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Ultimately, the entity will be supported by The Bloom Foundation, a connected charity, who have confirmed their support to cover any financial shortfalls for at least 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity and its subsidiaries will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “In February 2025, Marc Sugarman stepped down as CEO of the company. Jeremy Fletcher, an experienced executive in the hospitality and property sector, was appointed as Interim CEO for an initial term of four months. In the light of his performance during that time, the trustees determined to make his appointment longer term. The trustees subsequently agreed to appoint Marc Sugarman to their number so the company could continue to benefit from his expertise and commitment.”
