- Affirmed
“The company has significant cash reserves of £5.8m (2024: £6m). The company generates consistent cash inflows from operations and has liabilities that are known and can be discharged without recourse to external funding. Consequently, there are no foreseeable reasons why the company should not prepare the 2025 financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events

Our published 2023 baseline carbon footprint was 10,307.5 tCO2e, reducing to 9,999.3 tCO2e by 2025 through initiatives including improved energy efficiency, enhanced emissions measurement, and increased supplier engagement, with a targeted further reduction to 8,000 tCO2e by 2030.”
