- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PKF Littlejohn LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's forecasts, capital requirements and cashflows, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company is and will continue to be a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date when these financial statements are authorised for issue. After a period of recent losses the Company has made a profit in the current year and the Company is forecasting to maintain profitability, liquidity and solvency in the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “With a new Chief Executive Officer & newly formed Executive Team, alongside other Board changes in 2023 & 2024, the Company had a turnaround strategy for the year.”
- “the Company has won an award for Specialist Coverage at the prestigious National Insurance Awards in March 2025.”
- “The development of the insurance trading brand, Peach, continued with sustained growth across the period.”
- “Investment strategy is reviewed periodically via an Investment Advisory Group with support from the new investment portfolio manager London & Capital (L&C). The investment manager changed to L&C in October 2024 from the incumbent Schroders.”
- “2024 also saw a change in the way that NPAI remunerates its parent company National Pharmacy Association Ltd (NPA). Commissions to NPA were reduced to £600,000 (2023: £1,200,000) with an anticipated move to a dividend model of remuneration.”

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
