- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company predicts modest growth over the coming years. This growth is reflected in the pipeline of contracted business and predicted new business. The company's cash reserves are currently very healthy and are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future, this ensuring the company has the necessary funds required to satisfy its current and ongoing commitments. The directors do not foresee a case for material uncertainty in respect of the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Employee Ownership Trust transition. A smooth transition was completed to an EOT, and the share purchase is on track as per the agreement. The new management structure is now well embedded.”
- “Republic of Ireland. As planned, we opened a studio in Ireland in September 2025.”

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
