- 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. The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “As disclosed in note 30 of the Westminster Topco Limited financial statements, on 15 December 2025, the Group completed the acquisition of Opus Talent Solutions Limited (together with its immediate parent and its subsidiaries) and agreed an amended bank loan waterfall with revised bank loan covenant ratios for the remaining period of the Senior bank facility (to October 2028). There were no changes made to the £20 million Revolving Credit Facility or the quantum or repayment date of the Senior £85 million bank facility. The Westminster Group has taken on a new Junior term bank facility of £14.9 million with the acquired Opus group. The terms of this new Junior term bank facility include a full subordination to the existing Senior £85 million facility, a maturity date beyond October 2028 with interest rolled up in full until repayment.”

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
