Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the working capital requirements for a period of 12 months from the date of this report. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “On 1st July 2025, the company entered into an agreement for a transition of majority ownership to the Private Equity investor, Warburg Pincus. While the transaction was agreed in principle before the year-end, legal completion and transfer of control was not completed until 31st October 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
