- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the directors have considered the performance of the business through 2024 and ongoing performance and cash flow in 2025. The directors believe these results, including continued growth in trading and resilience in the financial performance of the Company, coupled with the positive outlook and the continued support of the parent WSH, reinforce the directors' confidence that the Company can meet all its obligations as they fall due through to at least the end of 2026. Accordingly, the directors have formed a judgement that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “2024 was another strong year for the business, achieving our highest turnover in our 26 year history. Strong sustainable turnover growth was built on the foundations laid in the previous years. During 2024, we worked with our clients to drive mutual benefits and were delighted to win new contracts at more iconic locations including Windsor Castle and St Paul's Cathedral.”
- “Looking forward we will continue to seek opportunities to grow our business. Whilst inevitably the government's changes to Employers National Insurance from April 2025 will present an increased challenge for us, we will work closely with our clients and teams to mitigate the impact, driving the business forward for the benefit of our customers and stakeholders.”

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
