Please see the detailed disclosure on going concern in the Basis of preparation section of the notes to the accounts on page 12.”
Significant events
- “It was encouraging to see improved demand from our social-housing customers during the year, and fewer issues relating to the deferment of contract start dates, resulting in an increase in revenue for the third year. Cost management and a focus on operational efficiencies enabled the Company to improve operating margins compared to 2023 and return to modest profitability at the operating level. The medium-term and long-term drivers for the Company's markets remain strong.”

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
