“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. 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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The directors expect revenue to exceed £60m in 2025-26 and remain focused on sustainable, profitable growth.”
- “During the year, the company has continued to implement operational improvements, including the adoption of advanced IT systems and streamlined project management processes.”
- “This is the first year that the company qualifies as a large company for SECR purposes.”

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
