Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Dafferns Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared a medium term financial plan, including cash flow forecasts for a period of 14 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the company will have sufficient funds, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year ended 31 July 2025, the Company's turnover increased by 1% compared to the previous year through growth in the temporary staff agency, despite continuing challenges in the economic climate and Higher Education sector which has impacted the Franchise and Search Higher divisions.”
- “The UK Government's Employment Rights Bill, currently being considered by Parliament, is expected to change the legislative landscape for the temporary staff recruitment market. The Company is working to adapt to these proposed changes and is seeking opportunities to develop new revenue streams that will support the Company's growth.”

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
