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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, the directors have a reasonable expectation, having prepared detailed trading projections to the end of 2026 that the company has access to adequate resources to continue to operate effectively. Although trading continues to be challenging there is sufficient headroom to continue to trade as a going concern for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of authorising the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2024 we consolidated our cost infrastructure and have implemented a new IT system in 2025 with a positive view of moving forward and growing the business in future years.”
