- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the group's cash balances, borrowing facilities and projected cash flows, the directors believe that the group has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion, the directors have considered carefully the group's budgets and cash flow forecasts for the year ended 31 December 2025 and beyond, and as a result, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “2024 continued to reflect the ongoing profitability challenges seen in 2023. While both turnover and cost of sales increased by similar amounts across the group (4.5% vs 4.7%), administration expenses were 8.6% higher which led to a fall in pre-tax profits of 16%.”
- “Nonetheless, the figures show a slightly higher cash generation than last year of £1.59m, while the repayment of the CBILS loan at £450k p.a. will come to an end in June 2026.”

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
