Gaps to watch
- Several long-serving directors could step down together
- Narrow spread of sectors across the board
Where to look Suggested search: succession planning for long-tenured seats; directors from a wider range of sectors.

Finances
Financial history
1 year heldOnly one year of accounts is held, so there is no chart yet. The figures are in the table.
Scroll sideways to see every column.
| Year ending | Accounts | Turnover | Profit or loss | Net assets | Total assets less current liabilities | Cash | Employees |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2023 | FRS102 | £25.95m | £615.10k | £2.35m | £2.35m | £1.12m | 27 |
- Absent is not zero. A figure shown as Not reported was not given in the accounts we hold. Small and micro companies do not have to file a profit and loss account, so turnover and profit are usually absent for them.
- These are not the latest accounts. Companies House shows full accounts made up to 31 December 2025, but the newest year we hold is 31 December 2023. Group and some other filings are not read into this table; see the filing history at Companies House (opens in a new tab).
- Employees, cash and net assets are shown as Not shown when the filed figure is not possible (for example a negative headcount or negative cash).
Definitions
- Total assets less current liabilities
- Fixed assets plus current assets, minus what the company owes within a year. It is not total assets: cash can be larger than this figure when the company owes a lot in the short term. Where a filing does not give it, the table marks the fixed-assets figure used instead.
- Net assets
- What the company owns minus everything it owes. Also called shareholders' funds.
- Turnover
- Sales for the year. Only larger companies report it.
- Accounts
- The accounting framework named in the filing (for example FRS 102). Not stated means the filing does not say.

Loading the group structure…
Built from the corporate people with significant control records matched to UK companies (Companies House, Open Government Licence v3.0; ownership graph of 19 September 2026). Control is shown as the nature of control the controller declared; the group count includes only active majority holdings (more than 50%), so holdings of 25-50% are drawn but not counted. Overseas parents that are not on the UK register appear only when a company names them.
