- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Sales in 2025 decreased to £369m, decrease of 5% on 2024 sales. Gross margins increased to 13% during 2025 from 12.1% in the prior year. The main reasons for the fall in sales is due to the overall premium market shrinking as a whole and also increased competition from budget tyres from the Asian market.”
