- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In August 2025, the company underwent a share capital reduction to reduce the capital from £242,645,872 to £92,645,872 by cancelling and extinguishing 150,000,000 ordinary shares of £1 each allotted to the parent company.”
- “In December 2025, the directors considered the impact of such a decision on the long-term prospects of the company, as well as considering the financial position of the company to ensure that it has the sufficient distributable reserves at the time of the interim dividend.”
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
