- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This, combined with the continued support of the group, means the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The business was acquired into the Drive Holdings Group in August 2024.”
- “MG operations ceased in York and Hull due to space constraints at those dealerships, and a dedicated MG showroom was opened in Scarborough.”
- “As at 31 December 2024, £520,001 of cash and cash equivalents was reclassified out of cash to amounts owed to group undertakings due to a cash sweep account arrangement.”
