Significant events

• “The 2023 Income statement has been restated to increase both Revenue and Cost of sales by £58,891,000, where management concluded that certain of the Company's revenue streams should be recognised as principal and therefore on a gross basis, rather than net as previously recognised.”
• “The 2023 Income statement has also been restated to reclassify £24,056,000 of staff costs from Administrative expenses to Cost of Sales.”
• “The Company did not pay or declare any dividends in the current year or prior year to its ordinary shareholders.”
• “During the year, it was agreed that fixed assets related to a vacated office with a net book value of £6,647,000 as at 31 December 2024 would be sold to a fellow Group company. The assets were disposed of at net book value in August 2025 for a consideration of £6,647,000 with no gain or loss recognised on sale.”

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
