Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company has the continued support of 2M Group Limited, the ultimate parent group, for the foreseeable future should it require it. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Subsequent to the year-end, the Company granted a fixed and floating charge over its assets and undertakings in favour of HSBC. This security was provided as part of the transfer of the ultimate parent Group's financing arrangements to HSBC on 06 June 2025, which includes the transfer of the Company's financing facilities disclosed in note 24. The charge secures amounts due to HSBC from the Group under these facilities. No adjustments have been made to these financial statements as this represents a condition arising after the reporting date.”

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
