Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- UK-adopted International Accounting Standards
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence over a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. For this reason, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Broader macroeconomic conditions also remain relevant, including persisting CPI inflation materially above the Bank of England's 2% target (fluctuating between 3.2% and 3.8% through 2025, ending at 3.4%), and claims inflation driven by elevated labour, materials and repair costs.”
- “However, actual outcomes may differ materially from current estimates, particularly given new sources of uncertainty identified during 2025 such as Al-related claims behaviour, legislative reform affecting employers' liability and property exposures, and increased weather-related volatility from named storms, freeze events and subsidence trends.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
