- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Grant Thornton UK LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “increasing interest rates have a direct relationship with consumer spending habits, and therefore have a detrimental impact on trade. Current forecasts suggest that the Bank of England base rate will continue to fall during 2025, which should stimulate customer spending.”
