Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors believe that the Group will continue to manage its business risks successfully despite uncertain economic conditions in some business sectors and countries. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months after the date on which the report and financial statements are signed. Accordingly, they have continued to adopt a going concern basis in the preparation of the annual report and financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Board considered and paid dividends within the financial year of £4.0m to the Parent. The decision to distribute dividends to the Parent was made after careful consideration of both the company's financial health and the broader impact on other stakeholders.”
• “A series of actions were taken by the Directors in respect of the Company's People Plan during this reporting period to support the workforce. This included a key decision to increase the cohort of graduates and apprentices to ensure the Company can fulfil its future resource requirements. In addition, the Company also made improvements to its maternity and paternity policies to promote a more family-friendly work environment.”

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
