“Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company made £1,000 of charitable donations (2024: £1,000).”
- “LED lighting has been installed throughout the largest event space, Central Hall. Made possible by strong cash reserves, this will reduce electricity consumption and operating costs, with a return on investment expected within 3 years”
- “Investing in new equipment within the waste centre, improving waste monitoring processes and providing accurate data to clients. Using advances in telematic technologies, waste collections have been reduced from three per week, to once per month, reducing costs and carbon emissions”
- “Encouraging sustainable travel choices for staff an increased uptake of the Electric Vehicle (EV) scheme with nine vehicles now on the road. This equates to a carbon saving of around 19 tonnes.”

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
