- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 company'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
- “The earthquake in 2023 highlighted the vulnerability of the region to natural disasters and the consequential need for resilience and contingency planning.”
- “Greenwood and Coope continues its commitment to investing in the future of the business through infrastructure, technology, process improvement and new products.”
- “Cash generation was strong throughout the year and capital investment increased this year (2024: £6.5m, 2023: £3.4m), this was predominantly driven by investments in IT infrastructure additions, and we expect this to increase further in 2025.”

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
