Accordingly, the company will be able to draw on support from the bp group for the foreseeable future and these financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Sales volumes are down 16% overall compared to 2023, with growth in some markets offset by reduced sales in Israel due to conflict in the region.”
- “The company had an overseas branch established in Kosovo. It was deregistered in March 2024.”

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
