Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company generated a net profit of £256,187,000 (2023: £179,615,000), has net assets of £871,804,000 (2023: £767,315,000) and current assets of the Company exceed its current liabilities by £37,218,000 (2023: £33,364,000). Trading profits are expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Therefore, after making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
