Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Non-recurring items totalling £873,000 for 2024 included a £561,000 charge from stockholding policy review, a £389,000 credit from reassessing asset useful life, and £701,000 in other charges including temporary storage, legal expenses, intellectual property, expansion in Dubai, and supply chain investments.”
• “The Company and certain fellow subsidiaries jointly guaranteed the overdrafts of the ultimate parent undertaking and its subsidiaries, which at 31st December 2024 amounted to £ nil (2023: £ nil).”
• “There remains significant uncertainty as to whether 2023 ruling in the Virgin Media vs NTL Pension Trustee case will result in additional liabilities for UK pension schemes for which the Company has not reflected potential additional liabilities.”

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
