Going concern

Affirmed

“Despite the net liabilities position of the company, the directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate having given consideration to the funding requirements of the company together with the confirmation of continued financial support from the ultimate parent company (which, following completion of the Bridgepoint transaction, is Sparkle Topco Limited) and an expectation that the amount owed by and owed to the group undertakings will not be settled within 12 months.”

The transaction subsequently completed on 14 October 2025, with Sparkle Bidco Limited acquiring 100% of the share capital of Turnstone Equityco 1 Limited. The group's existing third-party borrowings were also re-financed in full on the same date (see note 22 for further details).”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
