Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Daw White Murrall
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “In 2024 we launched our new company Vision, Customer Commitments, and Sustainability focus documents and communicated this throughout the business with the team.”
- “In 2024 we completed our main site Transformation Project at Fradley Park, with our expanded workshop operations and opening of our dedicated MOT Authorised Testing Facility. This project will serve to both generate efficiencies in operations and provide the platform for additional capacity for future growth.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
