- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 company turnover has had a minor increase again this year, (5.81%, 2024 £19.21M: 2023 £18.15M)”
- “retained profit has decreased this year by 23.21% (2024 £974K: 2023 £1.27M)”
- “dramatic drop in profits for the financial year of 93.57% or £587k (2024 £40K: 2023 £627K), although the 2023 figures were helped considerably by the one off sale of some property”
- “Overall, this led to a decrease in after tax profits compared with last year, with EBITDA decreasing by 85.20% (2024 £130K; 2023 £878K)”
- “A couple of large orders for ongoing work have already been agreed for the Recruitment division, starting in the first and third quarters of the financial year”

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
