Significant events
- “The Members of the LLP have considered the events within the Middle East, specifically the military action between the USA, Israel and Iran, and consider that does not give rise to any post balance sheet impact on these accounts. This is an unadjusted post balance sheet event.”
- “In January 2026, a further Members' distribution was made of £2,302k.”

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
