Significant events
- “The Company continues to significantly expand its operations via internal and external growth, most prominently in the Middle East.”
- “An investment held in unlisted company shares was fully written off at a value of £2,226,000 (2023 - £4,780,000).”
- “On 17 December 2024, the Company sold part of its research and advisory business to a third party for an overall profit of £10,915,000.”
- “Vehicle fuel emissions associated with business travel represent an increase compared to 2023 due to increased frequency from employee owned car travel, this is partly offset by the reduction in emissions from company owned cars noted under Scope 1.”
- “A high court ruling in June 2023, along with a subsequent appeal in July 2024, considered the implications of section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 on the validity of certain pension scheme rule amendments and represents a material development in the pensions industry.”
- “The Company's Saudi Arabia branch has been engaged in a formal appeal process with the Saudi Arabia Tax Authority in relation to tax assessments for prior years. These enquiries have all now concluded with no further recourse for appeal and, therefore, the Company's 2024 Income Statement includes an additional charge of £1.5m to reflect the final assessments.”

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
