- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the ability of the company to continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future, the directors have considered scenarios which have involved a degree of judgement based upon experience of the sector, forecast activity and the cash resources available to ensure that the financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis. Considering all of this, we have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “On the 10th April 2025 the company announced a full review of the position of the business, the result of which was the Restructure of employees and write off of significant assets, in order to position the company for strategic growth. The employee restructure will provide savings on an ongoing basis. The exercise was concluded 31st May 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
