- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared cashflow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides and the anticipated impact of the high levels of inflation on the operations and its financial resources, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The business undertook a review and organisational restructure of the garden centres. The business was informed on 13 February 2025 of the intended restructure. In the following weeks, colleagues impacted by the restructure were consulted with. During the months of March and April 2025, the process was completed with 27 colleague roles being made redundant.”

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
