- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “On 1 October 2024, 3,384 £1 ordinary shares were repurchased by the company at total consideration of £1,996,560 and the shares have been cancelled following the re-purchase.”
- “On 23 February 2025 the company entered into a 15 year operating lease for new premises. The initial annual rent of £272,756 will be payable from 23 August 2025. The existing premises lease will be terminated.”

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
