Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company has always taken a proactive approach to customer care whilst delivering its highly specialised services. The Company continues to deliver a strong pipeline of projects and despite the challenging economic background the Company has maintained profitability throughout. Access to cash remains strong through the parent company group facilities. After making due enquiries and considering the impact of increasing utilities and wage pressures, and the support available from the parent company described above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The parent company's assessment of going concern and the current trading environment for the company and their forecast for 2025 and future periods remains strong. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
