“The Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts, facilities, covenants and sensitivities and have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue for the foreseeable future. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Two key own-brand suppliers ceased trading in the year, creating gaps in our range, which have been partially addressed through alternative sourcing and the introduction of branded product lines.”
- “Planning to launch a new dedicated Pet Place online store, focused on higher-margin pet products, alongside the existing platform.”
- “This is a year of consolidation rather than expansion, with focus on cost control, operational efficiency, and increased use of technology, including exploring AI.”
