Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the Group's ability to adequately manage its risks, its strong overall financial position and the ongoing support of its ultimate parent company the Directors remain confident that the company will continue to be fully funded within the framework of the Group treasury management. The Group's forecast and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group can operate with the support of working capital facilities provided by the ultimate parent company for at least 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The decrease was due to a reduction in Personal Service Company ("PSC") customer numbers following the implementation of IR35 in the private sector in April 2021.”
• “Non-recurring expenditure of £0.07m (2023: £0.5m) related mainly to legal & professional fees on customer claims.”
• “The Group committed to a reorganisation within the prior period, with costs relating to restructuring and redundancy being included in restructuring-related costs. One-off legal and professional fees in the current and prior year are costs incurred in the course of responding to legal matters relating to historic periods.”

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
