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
“Global uncertainties continue to affect inflation and wage pressures and, by association, the Company's ability to keep costs at existing levels. In addition, these issues can impact customers' plans, either deferring or cancelling their proposed projects. As in 2022-23, the company has seen some signs of a slowdown, however overall this has not impacted the Company to date. The directors are monitoring the situation carefully, including managing customers' expectations on having to pass on the wage and other price rises.”
Significant events
- “Turnover decreased 6%, however that was due to a large one-off contract in 2023 that was not repeated in 2024. The Company was also the victim of a sophisticated materials theft fraud of £60k. Whilst these impacted the Profit and EBITDA, the Directors were still pleased with the performance of the three divisions.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
