- 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 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
- “2024 was a year of steady progress. Turnover continued to grow, driven by higher activity levels and strengthened operational performance across our existing portfolio. The Essex Partnership University NHS Trust (EPUT) contract is now fully embedded, with performance stabilising at the levels expected of a mature service.”
- “Recruitment conditions improved modestly during the year, which has supported stronger rota coverage and reduced reliance on subcontractor support. This has contributed to a more stable operating environment and helped mitigate the continued impact of cost inflation across wages, fuel and vehicle-related expenditure.”
- “2025 marks the beginning of a significant expansion phase for the company. Two major new NHS contracts will commence with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. These contracts broaden the company's footprint across central and south-east London and introduce expanded service capabilities, including secure transport and paramedic-led HDU services. These awards reflect the company's growing reputation for quality, responsiveness and clinical governance. The new contracts will increase scale, diversify service lines and provide enhanced multi-year revenue visibility.”
