The Slow down Continues

Justifying the declining turnover, the Group detailed that it was largely an offset by a decrease in administration expanse that further resulted in a declining profit.

Indeed, the administration expenses for the year went down to £1.68 million from 2018’s £1.59 million. Despite generating £38,459 from other incomes in 2018, the Group had no such income streams last year.

“Administrative expenses were adversely impacted by the effect of the exchange rate differences and the significant fall in interest rates,” the Companies House filing added.
