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 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

• “In April 2023, the company transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), placing ownership directly in the hands of employees and management. This shift has already delivered a positive impact, with tax-free bonus payments boosting morale, strengthening retention, and enhancing engagement across all levels of the business. The move to employce ownership has fostered a greater sense of shared responsibility and alignment with the company's long-term success.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
