- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Due to the nature of funding across the wider group, of which this company is a part, the directors have considered the wider group ('Newable Group') as well as the company in making their assessment. The directors are confident that Newable Partnership Limited has sufficient funds to provide such support as may be required.”
Significant events
- “Following the pandemic, some form of flexible working has become widely accepted across white collar employers. The acceptance of flexible working presents significant opportunities and challenges for Newflex. Consequently, we undertook a strategic review, concluding that a smaller network of better-quality centres would generate more sustainable profits than a large network of medium quality centres.”
- “During the year, we closed several managed centres, certain centres were closed due to the strategic review and replaced with the centre such as Cambridge North. The rest of the closures were due to the landlord's changing the management services provider or managing in-house and re-development of the building.”
- “As a results of the recent strategic review, Newflex will pivot to have a smaller network of better-quality centres to generate more sustainable profits.”

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
