- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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
- “Turnover has increased compared to the prior year, driven by continued growth in activity levels and strong demand across the group's services.”
- “margins have experienced some pressure as a result of increased operating costs, both internally and externally.”
- “Ongoing inflationary pressures, supply chain challenges, and wider macroeconomic uncertainty remain key risks.”

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
