Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The trading result for 2024 was down on the previous two years. It had started well but the anticipated and actual changes in the political landscape on both sides of the Atlantic during the year created considerable uncertainty amongst group customers.”
• “Increasingly the group's fortunes are linked to capital investment within the sectors it services. The automative industry in the US was uncertain about the election outcome and had paused investment activity.”
• “The group's direction of travel continues to be towards international contract business and statement of work programmes linked to capex programmes.”
• “There have now been a number of major investment decisions taken by multinationals (particularly in life sciences) in 2025. These will create opportunities for the group to supply teams of talent (on long term contracts) required to get those projects from initiation to fully operational.”
• “2025 has seen a number of household names suffering from cyber crime. STR ensures that it has robust IT systems and trains its personnel to be aware of phishing activities.”

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
