- 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 for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In May 24, our single site Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle operation in Exeter was sold to an existing MB Retail partner. During 2024, we closed two SEAT sites - the Yeovil site was disposed of, but the Salisbury site was adopted as part of our Toyota representation.”
- “The Company was pleased to extend its representation with Toyota in Salisbury and both Toyota and Lexus in Bournemouth.”
- “The Company was excited to open its first BYD dealership in Southampton in Q1 2024 and a second one in Basingstoke in late 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
