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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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 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

• “During 2024 re-financing and restructuring took place across the group in order to prepare for sale to Stellex Capital Management LLC just after the year end.”
• “In September 2024, the Group underwent a restructuring process, resulting in the disposal of several subsidiaries to a newly established group under a new parent company, Fox Brothers Holdings Limited. Following the restructuring, the PRF Group continued to operate with the remaining subsidiaries: Cotswold Roller Hire Limited, Monks Training Services Limited, and Barley Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, B & W Plant Group Ltd and B & W Plant Hire and Sales Limited). As part of this restructure, a new parent company was established for the PRF Group, Vehiculis Holdings Ltd. PRF Group Ltd became a subsidiary of this company.”
• “Subsequently, in January 2025, Barley Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries were disposed of as part of a separate transaction.”
