- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue for the foreseeable future, assessed as a period of 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. The Directors note that the level of uncertainty which macro-economic climate poses to the Group remains at large, but the assessment performed, means they conclude that the group has sufficient cash reserves to remain liquid, for at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “On 19 January 2026 the Group, headed by Clayton Bidco Limited, an intermediate parent, successfully completed a refinancing and change of control, which puts the Clayton Bidco Group in a strong position for future success. The entire share capital of the Clayton Bidco Limited was acquired by Clayton Holdco Limited, a company incorporated in England & Wales and the Group is now owned and controlled by Muzinich Pan-European Private Debt I, SCSp, a debt fund in Luxembourg.”
- “This change has resulted in full repayment of the revolving credit facility, reduction in overall debt including bank loans and loan notes owed to parent undertakings (from £75,650k to £25,500k), extension of maturity on debt to 2029, amendment to the interest profile on debt to eliminate regular cash interest payments, provision of additional funding and a facility for future additional funding (£0.5m). Following the change in control August Equity LLP are no longer involved with the Clayton Bidco Group.”
- “On 6 March 2026, Charterhouse Voice & Data Limited acquired the brand and intellectual property of Teleware plc. The Teleware brand is renowned for its advanced AI agent and customer experience (CX) solutions, built natively for Microsoft teams. The acquisition was for total consideration of £90k.”

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
