Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: HW Fisher Audit
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
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.”

Significant events

“2024/25 was an election year; this inevitably impacted the business with sales slowing in the lead up and further delayed afterwards due to spending reviews.”
“This year also marked a milestone for the team, as we moved into a new office on Southwark Street, London. Reflecting our hybrid and flexible working model, the new space has a smaller footprint but offers enhanced social and collaborative areas.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
