Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors and management acknowledge that the current wider economic conditions, including higher employment costs, higher inflationary pressures and general uncertainty affecting UK business confidence has impacted levels of investment in training and consultancy. With a decline in the financial performance post year end against the original budget for FY26, there is an expectation that cash and investments will fall below the agreed policy amount within the next 12 months.

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
