- 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 Group's or the parent 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
- “On 20 August 2025, the Group entered into a new loan agreement with United Trust Bank and fully drew down an amount of £2,601,795. The loan was obtained to support the group's ongoing working capital requirements and future expansion plans.”
- “As the loan agreement was entered into after the reporting date of 31 March 2025, and the conditions did not exist at the year-end, this is considered a non-adjusting event under FRS 102 Section 32.”

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
