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. We have not identified any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months.”

Significant events

• “During 2024, demand in the recruitment market has continued to fall as a result of worsening economic conditions and the uncertainty of changes of governments in the UK and USA, plus continued global uncertainty caused by conflicts in multiple regions.”
• “The directors are aware of certain contracts expiring in the year which will likely result in reduced turnover going forwards however still expect the Company to be profitable for the foreseeable future.”
• “During 2024, the Company's annual turnover increased by 1.9% from £26,685,000 to £27,197,000 (2023 - increase 12.5%).”
• “There has been margin pressure in the outplacement, coaching and assessment industries for several years, particularly in larger Enterprise contracts and this is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.”

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
