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
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. Auditors concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and identified no material uncertainties.”
Significant events
- “Challenging market conditions continued throughout 2024 with cost-of-living pressures impacting demand, which led to increased promotional activity across the furniture market. This resulted in a significant drop in turnover across the financial year and an operating loss despite improving gross margins.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
