- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the analysis completed, the Group has adequate bank facilities available and the Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company will be able to continue in operation and meet their liabilities as they fall due, retain sufficient available cash and not breach any covenants under any drawn facilities for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. They do not consider there to be a material uncertainty relating to the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “On 30 March 2024 the Company acquired the trade, stock and fixed assets of the Douglas, Isle of Man branch from National Tyre Services Limited, a Halfords Group company, for consideration of £1,693,000.”
- “two colleagues within the business lost their lives this year”
- “On 15 April 2025, it was announced that Graham Stapleton had stepped down as Group Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect and that Henry Birch had been appointed as his replacement, this has no impact on the financial statements for the period ended 28 March 2025.”

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
