The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2026.
At Space & Time, we’ve created a whole new approach to growth marketing. One that helps businesses large and small redefine their potential. Whether growing sales, profits, sentiment, awareness or market share, we blend commerciality, innovation and leading tech. This lets us pinpoint success and respond to change.
We’re here to help the bold, innovative and curious look past the norm. Because true improvement is about so much more than metrics. It’s about understanding people. Having commercial empathy and seeking out better forms of growth.
We unlock better value for our clients in all kinds of ways. From better returns to innovation and problem solving, progressive thinking is at the heart of our media and creative services. Because things don’t improve without bold new approaches. And businesses can’t grow sustainably without new and better ideas.
In business, not all growth is equal, or even good. By asking the right questions, we help clients experience the right kind of exponential growth that supports their vision. From scaling new products, to improving your business model and building more customer engagement, we go way beyond media buying, planning or metrics.
We act as guides and challengers, unlocking hidden value and growth potential. Then planning, testing and tracking every relevant data point. Whatever the market, sector or media, we bring commercial empathy to every partnership, planning your growth against your industry. All so you can make better growth choices suited to your strategy. Our technology lets us see deeper and act faster. Our human insight gives data real value. And our personal approach means we live and breathe your business. This unique combination lets us deliver unparalleled thinking that creates growth in ways no one else sees or expects and enables us to support our clients in achieving sustainable market success.
This is what it means to redefine your potential.
Space & Time operates across offices in the UK, US and Asia and during the year the agency continued to see growth across its strategic objectives and continued to solve evolving client challenges with the development and launch of new products in its technology and performance creative divisions.
Furthermore, the agency deepened its expertise and proprietary tools in the property sector, launching new products for existing clients and also winning multiple contracts with new clients.

Looking ahead, Space & Time will invest in its partnerships with new and established platforms to bring new and exciting opportunities to clients. The agency will also continue to deliver on its AI roadmap and ESG programmes including its ambition to achieve BCorp status in the near future.
The company places significant value in our people, and continues to invest in initiatives that support employee development, well-being flexibility and social and environmental sustainability across the organisation.
Our continued investment in the company’s award-winning Space Academy training and development programme provides all staff with online bespoke learning pathways;
Our flexible working policy continues to give staff greater flexibility and control of their work/life balance;
As a Living Wage Employer, we are committed to ensuring that our staff and the staff of any suppliers we work with are paid commensurately with the relevant living wage; and
Recognising the importance of minimising our impact on the environment and in keeping with our ambition to become BCorp certified.
The company regularly reviews business risk and aims to mitigate these risks wherever possible through its internal systems and controls and where appropriate, targeted staff training. The directors consider the company’s main commercial and financial risks to be:
Economic uncertainty
The macroeconomic climate remains challenging with sustained price inflation, continued labour market pressures and interest rates above target continuing to create headwinds within the UK economy. The company has assessed the risks and the potential impact on the business as a result of these economic factors, and measures have been taken to mitigate such risks and their impact as far as possible. These include continued focus on sector diversification, reviews of commercial terms with existing clients to improve certainty around income streams, and ongoing prioritisation of internal talent development to improve staff retention and reduce costs. The company remains profitable since the year end and has sufficient cash resources for the foreseeable future. As a result, the directors believe that they have the ability to respond effectively to continued uncertainty and that the company will be able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements.
In common with all businesses, the performance of the company will be influenced by the general economic environment. We closely monitor leading market indicators particularly for sectors that our major clients and suppliers operate within. In addition, we work closely with all our clients and suppliers to ensure that we remain informed of how their businesses are performing and the key challenges that they face. The company reforecasts, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis and closely monitors its cash flow. It has historically and will continue to act promptly and decisively to address its business operations and cost base as and when trading or cash flow circumstances dictate.
Client retention
As a growth marketing agency, we enable our clients to secure optimal value from every part of the customer experience and their marketing investment. We form long-term partnerships through business empathy and commercial alignment, working across fully managed, hybrid or in-house models to deliver best-in-class expertise across media, technology and performance creative, driving market-beating long-term growth outcomes. We deliver this proactive approach every day, regularly monitoring and responding to our clients' needs and their pre-agreed KPls.
Credit and cash flow risk
The company, in common with all other businesses, is potentially exposed to the risk of non-recovery of its debts. This risk is mitigated by credit checking and having credit limits in place for all customers. In addition, the company operates a robust credit control regime and wherever possible, credit insures its clients.
Trade creditors' liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient funds are available to meet debts as they fall due. The company has a £6.5 million receivables finance facility in place with Barclays Bank PLC that provides appropriate working capital to meet the company's day to day business needs. The company's long-term business forecasts support the view that the company will have adequate resources to meet its debts as they fall due for the foreseeable future and for at least twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements.
Exchange rate fluctuations
A significant part of the company’s activity is UK based but for its material overseas trade it mitigates exchange rate risk to a greater extent by ensuring that its overseas customers settle, and their related suppliers are paid, via the group’s US Dollar and Euro bank accounts wherever possible.
The key performance indicators monitored by the directors are those that best demonstrate the financial performance and strength of the company. Specifically, we look at year on year trends in the profit and loss account, in turnover and gross profit margin and on the balance sheet, the level of net current assets and cash balances to monitor the financial health and liquidity of the company.
The company delivered turnover in the year of £78,346,238 (nine months 2025: £64,867,216), a gross profit of £10,039,782 (nine months 2025: £7,970,564), and a gross margin of 12.8% (2025: 12.3%). This improvement was primarily driven by the continued successful delivery of our strategic plan with existing clients, new business and the diversification of the company's client base.
During the year the company implemented an efficiency programme focused on reducing overhead costs where appropriate. This initiative, along with the absence of any transaction related expenditure in the year compared to the prior period, delivered administration expenses before other operating income and exceptional items of £8,861,372 (nine months 2025: £7,540,291). After taking account of other operating income of £622,674 (nine months 2025 £470,200) the company delivered operating profit before exceptional items of £1,801,084 (nine months 2025: £900,473). After taking account of net exceptional items of £nil (nine months 2025: £973,509), the reported operating profit was £1,801,084 (nine months 2025; £1,873,982) and reported profit before tax was £1,476,906 (nine months 2025: £1,635,927).
The company reported a tax credit for the year to £621,236 (nine months tax charge 2025: (£396,068)). The key driver for this tax credit was prior and current year loss relief in respect of a share scheme tax deduction under part 12 CTA 2009. This loss relief arose as a result of Datawrkz Business Solutions PTY Ltd.’s acquisition of a 68.75% stake in the company’s ultimate parent on the 29 October 2024.
Cash at bank and in hand was up year on year at £1,740,182 (2025: £1,368,304) and encouragingly, the company's net current assets at the 31 March 2026 had grown to £7,009,524 (2025: £5,576,629).
The board approved an intragroup dividend in the year to its ultimate parent of £709,478 (2025: £200,000), after this dividend, the company was still able to report an increase in its net assets of 28.8% to reach £6,205,183 (2025: £4,816,519) at its year-end.
The directors have been encouraged by the operational trading, financial strength and cash generation of the company in the period following the year end and whilst the economic climate remains challenging, there are reasonable grounds to expect the financial strength of the business to continue to improve for the rest of the next financial year.
The Board’s long-term growth strategy is focused on building deeper strategic and commercial alignment with client’s own business objectives, supporting long-term value creation and stronger partnerships. The Company aims to remain a highly relevant growth partner by aligning its capabilities with the full customer journey and developing proprietary products that enhance clients’ growth prospects. Together, these initiatives provide the platform for continued success and position the Company well to deliver a strong performance in the financial year ahead.
The Board recognises the importance of the company’s wider stakeholders when performing their duties under Section 172(1) of the Companies Act and their duties to act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:
The likely consequences of any decisions in the long term.
The interests of the company’s employees.
The need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others.
The impact of the company’s operations on the community and environment.
The desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct.
The need to act fairly between members of the company.
The Board considers that all their decisions are taken with the long-term in mind, understanding that these decisions need to regard the interests of the company’s employees, its relationships with suppliers, customers, the communities and the environment in which it operates.
As a Board we fulfil our duties as follows:
Group repositioning
The company's divisional operating model is now embedded within our operational and reporting processes, strengthening our strategic position for the years ahead. Additionally, we aim to continue to develop our market reach in a number of industry verticals outside of the residential development sector, to support the ongoing diversification of our client portfolio. However, diversification will not come at the expense of our core property capability; we remain committed to maintaining and enhancing the specialist knowledge, experience and reputation that have established us as a trusted leader in the property sector.
Employees, Community and Environment
The company acknowledges that the dedication, talent and expertise of its employees are central to its continued success. Alongside this, we remain committed to a range of initiatives that reinforce our culture, values and wider responsibilities. Further details are provided in the ‘Culture’ section on Page 2 of these financial statements.
Clients & suppliers
The company recognises the vital contribution that its clients and suppliers make to the success of the business. Maintaining strong, collaborative and sustainable relationships with these stakeholders remains a core focus. Further details of our approach to client retention and managing economic uncertainty are provided in the ‘Client Retention’ and ‘Economic Uncertainty’ sections on Page 2 of these financial statements.
On behalf of the board
The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.
The results for the year are set out on page 14.
Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £709,478 (2025: £200,000). The directors do not recommend payment of a further dividend.
The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:
Looking ahead, the Company is focused on delivering sustainable growth through further market diversification and expansion. New markets will continue to play an important role in our strategy, whether through the development of new client relationships, the acquisition of complementary businesses or the expansion of our activities internationally. While pursuing these opportunities, we will continue to invest in high–quality talent, strengthen our leadership and operational capabilities, and develop innovative products and services that enhance our market relevance and competitive advantage. Together, these factors provide the platform for continued success and position the Company well to deliver a strong performance in the financial year ahead.
The auditor, Moore Kingston Smith LLP, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.
The figures reported for the prior financial period were from 1 July 2024 to the 31 March 2025. The 2025 comparative figures in these accounts have therefore been grossed up to present them on a 12-month comparable basis to those being presented for the financial Year ended 31 March 2026 but these comparatives do not represent actual measured emissions or consumption in this annualised financial year.
The prior financial period ending 31 March 2025 included several exceptional emissions events associated with Datawrkz’s investment in Space & Time, primarily additional business travel and hotel stays. As a result, part of the year-on-year reduction in emissions reflects a return to more typical operating levels following these one-off activities. However, the business also achieved reductions that are expected to be sustained over the longer term. These included the downsizing of office space in Reigate and London, improved verification of electricity supply arrangements across the office portfolio, which confirmed that all offices other than London are supplied by 100% renewable electricity tariffs, and increased use of virtual meetings in place of in-person meetings when servicing client accounts.
We have followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines. We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol – Corporate Standard and have used the 2025 UK Government’s Conversion Factors for Company Reporting.
Scope 3 emissions include estimates for employee commuting and homeworking. These were calculated using data obtained from a staff survey conducted between July and August 2026, with responses from 49 employees (c43%) extrapolated on a proportional basis across the wider workforce.
A material improvement in the financial year 26 emissions methodology relates to the estimation of homeworking emissions. Previous calculations were based on assumptions published in the 2020 EcoAct Homeworking Emissions Whitepaper, which relied on research undertaken in 2012 and assumed a workstation configuration that included a dedicated desktop printer. As this does not reflect the organisation's typical homeworking arrangements, the financial year 26 calculation has been updated using more recent research published by TechCarbonStandard.org, which better reflects the energy consumption of modern computing equipment. This is considered to provide a more representative estimate of homeworking emissions.
Electricity consumption is based on directly metered values for the Bournemouth, Manchester and Edinburgh offices. Consumption for the London office is estimated on a per-desk basis using average monthly usage data provided by the operator of the shared workspace. Consumption for the Reigate office is estimated using a kWh per square foot methodology that reflects changes in occupied floor space throughout the reporting period. Market-based reporting has been applied to purchased electricity emissions. Accordingly, electricity consumption from all locations is included within the disclosure, while associated emissions are reported only for the London office, as all other locations are supplied under verified renewable electricity tariffs.
As financial year 25 covered a nine-month reporting period, whereas financial year 26 covers a full financial year, year-on-year comparisons are presented using both the actual financial year 25 reported figures and financial year 25 figures annualised to a twelve-month equivalent. The annualised figures are provided solely to aid comparability and do not represent actual measured emissions or consumption for financial year 25.
The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in metric tonnes CO2e per £m revenue, giving the business a scalable understanding of its performance on this core metric as its growth plans are realised over the coming years.
During the reporting period, the business implemented a number of measures designed to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Office footprints were reduced in both London and Reigate, decreasing the amount of occupied workspace and the associated energy required for heating, cooling and lighting. The business also continued to support lower-carbon travel choices through its Cycle to Work scheme, with three new loans issued during the year.
Employee engagement remained a key component of the organisation's carbon reduction strategy. A more extensive programme of sustainability communications and engagement activities was delivered during the year, aimed at improving awareness of environmental impacts and encouraging employees to adopt lower-carbon behaviours both in the workplace and when working remotely. Initiatives included a company-wide step-count competition designed to promote active travel and reduce reliance on short vehicle journeys.
The organisation also strengthened the integration of environmental considerations into its client service model. Greater emphasis was placed on communications-first methods of collaboration, with virtual meetings and remote engagement encouraged where appropriate as an alternative to travel-dependent interactions. This approach supports the delivery of client services while reducing emissions associated with business travel.
In addition, the business updated its standard terms and conditions to place greater emphasis on emissions reduction and sustainable ways of working. This reflects a broader commitment to embedding environmental considerations within operational decision-making and client relationships, supporting the organisation's long-term objective of reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining high standards of service delivery.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
We have audited the financial statements of Space & Time Media Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Basis for opinion
Conclusions relating to going concern
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.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the company.
Our approach was as follows:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council, and UK taxation legislation.
We obtained an understanding of how the company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
The Profit and Loss Account has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.
Space & Time Media Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Suite 8, Venator House, St. Stephens Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, England, BH2 6LA.
The financial statements are presented for the year to 31 March 2026. The comparative period was for a period of 9 months to 31 March 2025 so the comparatives are not entirely comparable. The period was shortened in the prior period to bring the company reporting period in line with the period-end in the wider group.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
Section 4 ‘Statement of Financial Position’ – Reconciliation of the opening and closing number of shares;
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ – Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;
Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues’ – Carrying amounts, interest income/expense and net gains/losses for each category of financial instrument; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ – Compensation for key management personnel.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
In the normal course of business, the company makes an estimate of the amount and volume of media costs associated with each sale when the sale is ordered as well as any related rebates under the matching principle. These costs and rebates are reviewed periodically and adjusted where necessary.
The directors have completed a review of the trade debtor balances to determine balances which are unlikely to be received and a provision has been accounted for where necessary.
The investments held by the company are reviewed annually for impairment. If there is an indication of impairment, management will impair the asset to its recoverable amount.
The directors have considered the carrying value of intercompany debtors at the reporting date. In establishing an appropriate provision, they have considered the on-going trading and net asset position of the respective companies as well as the nature of intercompany transactions, the ability of the group to vary these to ensure full recovery and the profitability of the group as a whole.
An analysis of the company's turnover is as follows:
In the prior period, the two founder directors of a subsidiary completed a management buy out from Space & Time Media Limited. The management buy out completed on the 29 October 2024 and part of the terms of that deal were that the company would waive a £1,602,141 intercompany debt owed to it by Space & Time Media Ltd.
In the prior period, the ultimate owner of the Space & Time Group changed when the Indian based Nazara Technologies Ltd backed global advertising technology firm, Datawrkz Business Solutions Pvt Ltd (Datawrkz), acquired a 68.75% stake in the agency’s ultimate parent Space and Time Group Ltd. As a result, the company incurred exceptional transaction expenses of £628,632 in the prior period.
The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:
Their aggregate remuneration comprised:
The number of directors for whom retirement benefits are accruing under defined contribution schemes amounted to 2 (2025 - 2).
The actual (credit)/charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected charge for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:
The company's bank holds a fixed and floating charge over all assets of the company in respect of an invoice discounting facility provided to the company.
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund.
At year end, the amounts outstanding in respect of pension contributions payable is £47,762 (2025: £37,342).
Details of the company's associates at 31 March 2026 are as follows:
Registered office addresses (all UK unless otherwise indicated):
