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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-07-31 | 2025-07-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 22.8% | 22.2% | |
| Net margin | 21.5% | 22.3% | |
| Return on capital employed | 80.4% | 75.7% | |
| Current ratio | 2.41x | 2.69x | |
| Interest cover | 11.86x | 11.74x |
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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 limited liability partnership'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
- “On 2 July 2025 it was announced that a decision had been made to make changes to the LLP's operations in Luxembourg. These changes will involve severance and other similar payments being made to some staff employed in Luxembourg. Additionally, the LLP is party to a number of contracts which will no longer provide economic benefit to the LLP after implementation of the changes. A provision of £1,528,000 has been recognised in these financial statements in respect of costs associated with the changes.”
