Going concern

Affirmed

“The company continues to maintain a strong forward order book and has already achieved its budgeted turnover targets for 2025. Focus is now shifting toward securing and delivering on the 2026 pipeline. Our customer base is expanding, and we are strategically targeting new opportunities that align with the company's long-term objectives. Our liquidity projections remain robust, and the diversification of our client base across various sectors helps mitigate concentration risk. Additionally, we have enhanced our client due diligence processes prior to project awards to reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future. These developments reflect positively on the company's financial health and operational resilience. The directors are therefore satisfied with the company's ability to continue as a going concern, and the financial statements have been prepared on that basis.”

Significant events

• “In the 2023 accounts, it was noted that one of our clients, ISG, entered administration after the balance sheet date. We have since completed the affected projects directly with the end clients. As anticipated, the financial impact on the company was minimal.”

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
