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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“At 31 December 2024 the company had net liabilities of £3,148,885 (2023: £2,617,536) including amounts due to fellow group companies of £4,529,184 (2023: £2,054,018)... The consolidated group accounts continue to show a net asset position, and the subsidiary is fully supported by the parent company. The directors of Vindis Group Limited continue to support the company and therefore at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “2024 proved to be one of the most challenging years experienced by the company, with head winds coming from macro-economic factors, new car supply and staffing.”
• “The group has suffered with a high staff attrition rate... There was a change of senior leadership during Q4 to address numerous issues which has now resulted in more stability and a better strategic plan moving forward.”
• “Aftersales had a good year showing growth in both volume and margin... The company invested in a group Head of Aftersales.”
• “The company moved its offsite storage and fleet preparation to another external provider in the first half of the year which has seen a much better level of service and a cost reduction.”
