Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements (note 1.2).”
Significant events
- “On 30 May 2024, the shareholders of Ferguson plc, this Company's ultimate parent company, voted to approve a new corporate structure to domicile the Group's ultimate parent company in the United States. Effective on 1 August 2024 (the "Effective Date"), the Group implemented this new corporate structure by completing a merger transaction (the "Merger") that resulted in Ferguson plc becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Ferguson Enterprises Inc., a Delaware corporation. As a result of the Merger, Ferguson plc was renamed "Ferguson (Jersey) Limited" and converted into a private company. Beginning on the Effective Date, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferguson Enterprises Inc.”
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. 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
