Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having considered the forecasted performance and cashflow of the Company the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Board has since ended partnerships with Swift Motorhomes and Camper King.”
- “The UK automotive sector grew in 2024, with 1.95M new registrations (up 8% year-on-year). Electric vehicles accounted for 27% of sales (approx. 525,000 units), supported by new models, better charging infrastructure, and government incentives.”
- “The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate required 22% of new car sales and 10% of LCV sales to be electric, accelerating investment in electrification but exposing supply chain, pricing, and adoption challenges, particularly for fleet and private buyers. The used EV market remains hesitant, with affordability and battery health still limiting consumer confidence.”

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
