Material uncertainty over going concern
On 31 December 2021, the Directors took the decision to cease trading following a Stevin Group restructuring exercise. As the Directors do not intend to acquire a replacement trade and the intention is for the business to be liquidated within 12 months from the date of signing the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern basis.

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
