- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 the company'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
- “2024/25 saw a rebound in profitability, that has been the result of strong cost management and utilisation of resources plus defending project margins.”
- “The business turnover dropped though reflecting the balance of reduction in income from our largest client. It is anticipated that 24/25 will be the final year in which the impact of that will be felt on results, with re-growth being seen in 2025/26.”
- “During 2024/25, the business responded with a program of headcount reduction, which will result in saving of £1.5m in 2024/25 and into 2025/26.”
- “The impact of Al was starting to be seen in 2024/25 in terms of both the business and our clients starting to experiment with its use as part of project origination and delivery.”
- “We achieved Great Place To Work® certification in November 2023, and following our naming as one of the UK's Best Places to Work in Advertising, Media & Marketing in 2024, we have looked to build on that in 2024/25.”
