- 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 Group's or the 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
- “Prior year adjustment: Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. More specifically, adjustments were made to revenue recognised from contracts with customers and cost of sales for certain transactions to reflect the revenue recognised from private treaty vehicle sales on a net basis. The impact is that Turnover and Cost of Sales have decreased by £19,413,043.”
