“The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development and position, are set out in both the Company Strategic Report and Directors' Report. The Directors are satisfied that the Company can meet the payment of all creditors for a period of not less than 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. The Directors have also received confirmation that Azure Topco Limited, the ultimate parent company, intends to support the Company for at least one year from the date of signing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The financial year ended March 2025 was impacted by a slowdown in recruitment activity, exacerbated by the announcement of the increase in National Insurance.”
- “The Company will transition onto a single technology stack, leveraging a new, modern platform, Matrix Prism, currently used in other Group companies.”
- “At the end of the year, the Company terminated the lease original lease that was entered into at the end beginning of the year. This resulted in a remeasurement of the lease liability to reflect the early termination of this lease. In addition, the Company entered into a new lease as at the end of the year for a 24 month period which has been recognised.”
