Significant events
- “During the period, the LLP changed its accounting reference date from 30 April to 31 March to align its financial reporting more closely with operational and strategic planning cycles. As a result, the current financial statements cover the 11-month period from 1 May 2024 to 31 March 2025.”
- “As a direct result of growth, the Cardiff office has relocated from January 2025, while maintaining an EPC rating of 'B'. The available floor space has been reduced, but by design has allowed more than double the occupation of employees;”

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
