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

- Affirmed
“After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, which cover the 12-month period from the date of signing the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In July 2025, agreement was reached for the sale of the group's Trowbridge Ford dealership, including the transfer of appropriate staff. The turnover, cost of sales and gross profit arising from that franchise for the year ended 31 December 2024 was £21,667,021, £19,186,135 and £2,490,886 respectively and it is anticipated that the turnover for the year ended 31 December 2025, will be reduced accordingly.”
- “Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. Doric, Ashford Homes and Islington have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery.”
