Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -69.8% | — | — | |
| Return on capital employed | -11.7% | -12.8% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 0.8% | 0.8% | 0.8% | |
| Current ratio | 0.83x | 0.63x | 1.01x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' 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 Ufi VocTech Trust'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.”
Significant events
- “Activity on Ufi's large £3m multi-year 'VocTech Challenge' programme continued throughout 2025. The VocTech Challenge Grant Fund and Impact Network launched in June, receiving over 130 applications from organisations looking to improve adult participation in learning.”
- “The programme of Strategic Partnerships continued to develop in exciting new ways through the year. The UK's Digital Badging Commission was launched with the RSA, bringing together stakeholders from across the world to consider how the UK can increase adoption.”
- “In 2025, eleven projects were invited to join the VocTech Ignite programme, with four taking up the offer of expert support and mentoring including I'm Back, who have developed an MVP to support mothers returning to work, featuring confidence-building modules.”
- “In 2025 Ufi made its first investment from its newly launched Ufi Ventures Challenge Fund, part of VocTech Challenge - an ambitious Ufi-wide programme to deliver a step-change in adult participation in learning.”
