- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”
Significant events
- “Turnover for the year increased by 17.4% from £103m in 2023 to £121m in 2024.”
- “Average number of employees increased by 5% from 2023 due to insourcing of maintenance activities previously undertaken by third party providers and an increase in volume of sites covered.”
- “Operating profit for the year increased by 237% from 2023.”
- “Interest expense is higher than the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of factoring interest charges, which were previously absorbed by the Group and not recorded at the entity level.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
