- PKF Francis Clark
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2024 proved to be challenging in terms of overall market performance and saw a decline in the company's revenue after a relatively flat performance in 2023 and strong growth in the preceding years.”
- “A multi-year investment programme in people, technology and infrastructure, has been developed, which starts with the implementation of a new ERP system which will be delivered across 2025 and 2026.”
- “The shareholders set up the PenCarrie Foundation during 2024 with a brief to make strategic grants to charities focused on investing in areas of high relative deprivation in Devon and improving the lives of children and young people facing significant challenges. The value of these charitable donations across the year totalled £227k.”

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
