“Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events

The £300m loan was drawn down in full by the Company on 1 March 2024. The Company used most of the proceeds to repay the drawings under the revolving credit facility on that date of £265m.”
- “On 14 May 2024, a group company issued the equivalent of £600m of new term loans and lent the net proceeds to the Company. The Company used part of the proceeds to repay the £300m bank bridge loan in full on 15 May 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
