Significant events

• “The surplus has been achieved due to early adoption of organisational restructuring following significant budget cuts to contracts (£959k) notified by Kirklees and Calderdale councils for the 2024/25 financial year.”
• “Also, the company improved margins by further diversification with new contracts and maintained tight control of overhead expenditure.”
• “Directors have reviewed the reserves strategy of the company to reflect the current operating climate and have set annual reserve targets designed to ensure future viability and that all liabilities can be met in the event of winding up or transfer into one or both Local Authority owners.”
• “The company closed the WYPF scheme to new entrants in December 2013 and opened a defined contribution scheme for new staff commencing January 2014 or later.”
• “Demand for Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) services in Schools and Colleges has grown throughout the year. Provision outside of Calderdale and Kirklees is growing and increasingly the Company is being asked to provide services across West Yorkshire and beyond in both mainstream, Post16 and specialist settings.”
• “The Nexus in Schools programme, offering extended work experience to young people in years 10 and 11, has expanded in both Calderdale, Kirklees and in Leeds.”
• “The Company has extended its influence in the SEND arena in both Calderdale and Kirklees and is playing a leading role in both areas to support the development of supported internships and to coordinate work to help young people with SEND be better prepared for adulthood and employment.”
• “The company continues to diversify its customer base and has won new contracts during 2024/25 with the Department for Work and Pensions, Education Development Trust and West Yorkshire Combined Authority.”

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
