Going concern

Affirmed

“As at 31 March 2025 the Company has net assets. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons: 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 revenue increased 6.7% to £129.1m (2024: £121.0m) and profit before tax rose 10.6% to £41.8m (2024: £37.8m).”
• “The Company saw its average headcount slightly increase, across its operational (including advice), sales & marketing and administration functions. Overall, headcount closed the year 5.7% higher than opening with just over 1,000 colleagues employed by the Company.”
• “The regularity of changes to employment law and health & safety legislation support the ongoing demand for the Company's services. The change in UK government has presented further opportunity with the introduction of the proposed Employment Rights Bill.”
• “The "Peninsula Compass" was introduced during the year which gave further details and examples of what it means to live the values.”

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
