- 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. 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 Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The conflict in the Middle East has increased business risks for many companies, including the Group's customers and subsidiaries in the region. However, the Group has considerable resources together with long-term contracts and relationships with substantial customers across many different geographical areas and, consequently, the directors believe that the Group continues to be well placed to manage increased business risks successfully, despite the conflict and the uncertain economic and political outlook.”
- “During the year, the Group made charitable donations totalling to £1,497,284 (2024 - £1,383,787).”

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
