“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 group's or parent 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
- “During the year, the Group continued its strategic review of the franchise portfolio resulting in the addition of several new and developing brands, including BYD, Omoda / Jaecoo, Geely, and Kia PBV, and the opening of Peugeot in Canterbury.”
- “The Group was appointed to represent BYD in Huddersfield, Chery in Mansfield and Leapmotor in Dover, with these sites scheduled to open in early 2026.”
- “The Group exited a small number of under-performing or non-strategic franchises, including SEAT in Aylesbury, SEAT and Cupra in Bolton, and Mazda in Dover.”
- “The Group closed a small number of dealerships during the year as part of its ongoing strategic review. One site has been reclassified as an investment property and is now sublet, while another was classified as an asset held for sale, with the sale completing in February 2026.”
- “The Company is following a course of action to pursue underpaid business interruption insurance from 2021. Costs in the prior year totalled to £3,000.”
- “The Group closed two sites during the year. A site in Bolton is now being leased as an investment property (note 14) and closure costs amounted to £186,000. A site in Alfreton is held for sale as at 31 December 2025 (note 22) and closure costs amounted to £130,000.”
- “In February 2026 the Group sold a property located in Alfreton. Sales proceeds were greater than the book value of the property but other sale related costs costs are still being incurred.”
