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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Auditor
- Davies Tracey
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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
- “The conflict in Ukraine continued still impacting UK fuel prices & the cost of living. Despite this drag on the UK economy, turnover increased by a staggering 27%.”
- “Car sales became tougher leading up to the General Election, which after a Labour win remained tough due to uncertainty in the new Government & its policies.”
- “Skoda renewed five of its models & new car supply improved leading to a 33% increase in new car sales over the previous year.”
- “Used car sales increased by 25% over the previous year, aided by amongst other things Cazoo the online used car retailer going into Administration in May.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
