- Auditor
- Sayers Butterworth LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. We have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Royal Warrant in the name of HM The King granted at the end of 2024.”
- “Cost optimisation plan implemented.”
- “The Group is a party to claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business. Legal advice indicates that it is probable the Group will be required to settle the matter.”
- “The Group invested in a new infrastructure for networking and communications that was to be shared globally. The system was never put into service and the project was aborted by the Group in 2024.”
