Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have received binding commitments from Artisan Topco Limited to provide financial support to the company to allow it to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. In considering the ability of Artisan Topco Limited to provide that support, the Directors have satisfied themselves that the cash flow forecasts of the Group for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Group will have sufficient funds, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”
