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
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 and 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.”

- Alistair Wallace Investments Limited 100%
Significant events
- “Continued investment in new sites, people, and processes is continuing to deliver tangible benefits, reaffirming that decisions taken in prior years were sound. Despite operating in a challenging economic environment, the group remains focused on profitable growth and is confident that this strategy will support an upward trend in net profitability over the next three years.”
- “Sites continue to be refurbished to enhance the customer experience, and forecourt teams are undergoing training to strengthen customer engagement.”
- “The general move to cleaner energy sources will always be a risk to the group. This is further exacerbated by increased fuel costs which may push some customers to other modes of transport, including electric vehicles.”
