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.

“Notwithstanding a profit of £7,356,000 for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: loss of £8,313,000), net current liabilities of £59,407,000 (2023: £65,073,000) and net liabilities of £43,948,000 (2023: £51,121,000) the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis for the reasons set out below. The Company is a member of the Group cash pooling facility managed by Aumovio SE, whereby the cash balance of the Company is swept into an intercompany bank account on a daily basis. To the extent that working capital requirements arise, these are met through access to the cash pooling facility. As at the date of approval of the financial statements, the Company is a net borrower from that facility. Amounts owed to the cash pooling facility managed by Aumovio SE are £69,565,000 (2023: £65,715,000). The availability of existing amounts borrowed and any additional funding from that facility is dependent on group support from the ultimate parent company, Aumovio SE. Based on the Company's role in providing services to the group's customers, the Directors are confident that such additional funding as is needed will be available to the Company from its ultimate parent company, Aumovio SE, through the cash pool arrangement to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The Director's strategy is to return the Company to profitability and cash generative performance at which point the reliance on group will start to reduce. The group headed by Aumovio SE will continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company for the period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the Directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On September 18, 2025 the Company's ownership changed to Aumovio Holdings UK Limited from Continental Automotive Holding UK Limited.”
- “At a group level the spin-off of the Automotive group sector of Continental AG received shareholder approval on 25 April 2025. As a result of this decision, on September 18, 2025 the Automotive group sector of Aumovio Trading UK Limited is a part, became independently listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange and ceased to be part of Continental group. The new name of the separately listed Automotive group sector is Aumovio SE.”
