Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its immediate parent, University of Essex, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”

Significant events

• “During the year, the company introduced a Voluntary Severance Scheme (VSS) which was open to all employees. The cost of the scheme was £880k and is included within wages and salaries (see note 9). The cost was reimbursed by The University of Essex and is included within other operating income (see note 6).”
• “In December 2025, the University of Essex announced its intention to close the Southend Campus. This will reduce UECS Ltd turnover and costs because we will no longer provide Facilities Management Services or let out surplus accommodation at Southend.”

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
