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 group's or parent 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.”

- “The Group implemented Salesforce as its CRM platform in 2024 and launched a new customer portal, with plans for a new website and cloud-based telephony in 2025.”
- “During 2024, the Group focused on energy consumption, replacing aging boilers and fitting thermostatic valves, and began replacing tube lighting with LED solutions.”

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
