Audit opinion

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

• “Another investment was the launch of a new media buying offering in the form of AVID Media. AVID is positioned to assist other like-minded independent agencies who may need some help across the AV media landscape. It is there to help plan and buy AV campaigns on their behalf. In Year 1 we realised a profit and so there is cause for optimism for this venture as another source of growth.”
• “AMS were also at the heart of a new initiative that seeks to not only recognise the growing appeal of independent agencies but also the power that comes from unity and collaboration. That is why we took a leading role in the formation of the Alliance of Media Independence which launched in January 2025 and had acquired a total of 28 members in only 2 months. We continue to be a driving force in the organisation in terms of exploring new and exciting benefits for all our members.”

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
