“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through cash generated from operations and external borrowings.

Significant events

- “The growth primarily related to increased fee rates in addition to our new service starting in Sheffield in July 2024 generating approximately £3m of new business per annum.”
