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

- 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 company delivered a robust performance in 2024, continuing its strategic expansion and maintaining strong customer satisfaction. Despite macroeconomic pressures, the company recorded solid revenue growth and operational efficiency improvements.”
- “2024 saw record turnover being achieved. Turnover for 2024 was £1,095m, up from £1,044m in 2023 which represents an increase of 5%, whilst the gross profit for 2024 was £141m, an increase from £135m in 2023.”
- “Toyota's Retail Transformation Programme continues, with investment in new showroom upgrades which includes more digital content and new external signage deployment. All 32 locations will be transformed by July 2027. This is a significant investment for the Company. We have made good progress with half of them being completed.”
- “The Board initiated a review of its governance structures with the intention of integrating climate-related considerations into its broader risk management and strategic planning processes. This includes evaluating how oversight responsibilities might be allocated at Board and management levels, and how climate-related information can be incorporated into decision-making going forward.”
- “The Company has begun engaging with external consultants to assess its exposure to climate-related risks and opportunities.”
