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
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group have adequate resources, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors, having considered the current trading prospects, identifiable risks, working capital requirements and the availability of finance, and having obtained a letter of support from the parent company, are of the opinion the Company is a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Revenue increased by 7% year-on-year reflecting continued growth in customer demand. This increase suggests resilience in core operations despite a challenging economic environment.”
- “The increase in net liabilities during the year is primarily attributable to additional intercompany funding, provided to support continued investment in the Group's technology platform and related development activities.”
- “During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company invested in research and development activities relating to the ongoing development and enhancement of its fleet management platform and related applications.”
