“The Directors have reviewed both past performances, the forecasts of the company, the possible impacts of a worsening economic outlook and considered downside scenarios/stress testing, and are satisfied that despite the loss of £1.4m in 2024, expected future sales growth, and the cash pooling arrangements that exist, that there are adequate resources to enable it to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The Directors of SEB SA, the holding company, have confirmed that they will support the company to enable it to meet its third-party liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing conflict in the Red Sea, have significantly disrupted global shipping. The threat of attacks on vessels has forced many shipping lines to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, adding to the distances of journeys and extending lead times. This has created instability in global supply chains, making it increasingly difficult for shipping companies to adhere to schedules, ultimately delaying stock deliveries to the UK.”
- “During the year, the Company over distributed £1,433k as a dividend to shareholders. This was an oversight by the Company as the Company did not have sufficient available distributable reserves at the date of the board meeting. After the year end, noted the error, the directors declared the dividend payment non compliant with requirements of Section 830 of the Companies Act 2006 and informed the shareholder that the full amount of the dividend should be repaid back to the Company.”

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
