Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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

Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors performed this assessment, as set out in note 1.1 to the financial statements, and confirm that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. On 19 September 2025, Just Group plc, the Company's ultimate parent, announced shareholder approval of a recommended cash offer by BWS. Completion of the transaction is expected in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and other customary conditions. The Board has considered the potential impact on the proposed acquisition on governance and control arrangements and will ensure readiness plans remain appropriate for the post-transaction structure. There is no expected adverse impact on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
