Significant events
- “The S&S Board also decided to invest in a separate legal entity in the UAE to enable localised operations in the Middle East.”
- “This in conjunction with an ongoing challenging market in the UK, and a one-off client event in the UAE resulted in a 33% reduction in year-to-year revenue for the UK and an overall loss (pre tax) of £646k.”
- “The year-on-year results didn't deliver the expected outcomes. This was mainly impacted by the decision made by the Board in October 2023 to hire its first CEO... who failed to deliver the results needed. To this effect the Board took action to replace the CEO in October 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
