- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 directors and shareholders were pleased that whilst a change in how Honda UK from the mid-point of the year invoiced new cars on their direct sales system removing many vehicles from the turnover of the business. Therefore, it was encouraging to still reach nearly £44m in turnover. Increasing the ROS and ROCE was good to see in a challenging market and is testimony to the hard work, focus and performance of the teams.”
- “On-going, the reserves have grown enabling the dividend to the shareholders to be maintained., allowing for consideration to look at further opportunities to grow the business.”
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. 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
