- 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
- “The year 2024-2025 has been a pivotal period for our company, marked by significant advancements in security, infrastructure, and retail trends as well as significant steps undertaken to apply for planning permission for the future development of the sites.”
- “In March 2024 we were awarded a grant by the Department For Transport for our prospective HGV Parking development, of 70 secure overnight spaces on South and 30 secure overnight spaces on North.”
- “In May 2024, we re-signed a new Retail Motor Fuel agreement with Shell and in the process renegotiated fuel credit terms from 14 days to 21 days which has had a positive effect on cash flow enabling greater flexibility in managing our financial resources.”
- “In July 2024, we launched an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system by VARS systems to tackle the persistent and long standing issue of drive-offs.”
- “The summer of 2024 saw an alarming increase in shoplifting incidents.”
- “in November 2024, we upgraded our CCTV systems with modern surveillance capabilities.”
- “After being impressed with an initial trial period, implemented in December 2024, this technology targets repeat offenders. By identifying known shoplifters, we can take pre-emptive actions to prevent theft.”
- “in December 2024 we created a new position for a new staff member in the cash office”
- “in December 2024 as a thank you to our staff we implemented a one off loyalty bonus”
- “The Company undertook a total clean out and complete rebrand of the old Red Diesel pumps to the new HVO offering and also featured memorable leaf-branding on the pumps and above ground tank to give pride of place at this exciting new fuel option. After a lengthy clean out and various software issues to programme the tills for HVO fuel, the Company was delighted to launch a renewable diesel offering in October 2024.”

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
