Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“as the company is going to be liquidated, the directors have not prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. ... Similarly to the last year, the financial statements have been prepared on a break up basis. The directors have taken the decision to transfer on 1 November 2023 the business activities of GL Industrial Services UK Limited to DNV Services UK Limited, a fellow group company registered in England and Wales. All the business activities, except for the Energy businesses located in Spadeadam, which is also planned to be transferred eventually, have been transferred on that date. Therefore, as the company is going to be liquidated, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a break up basis.”

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
