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
- “2024 represented the second year of that repositioning programme.”
- “The repositioning programme has continued into 2025, and further non-recurring costs will be incurred as the business completes the transition to its target operating model.”
- “In the prior year, an unlawful dividend was declared and paid as a result of a lack of distributable reserves. After obtaining legal advice, in March 2025 the Company entered into a deed of repayment with the parent company whereby the parent agreed to repay in full the dividend.”
