- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the Financial Statements, that, with the support of the Group, there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year-end, the company negotiated an overdraft facility of £20,000,000 with HSBC at a rate of 3% above the bank of England base rate. The facility is due to expire on 30th November 2025 and the Group envisages that this facility would be renewed in the ordinary course of business.”
- “In May 2025, Robert Walters group announced that business operations in Brazil would be closed. It is not considered an adjusting event as the strategic review was undertaken in FY 2025 and the Board approval was received in April 2025.”

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
