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 entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Our 2025 actions of introducing new franchise partners to our business has worked out well in general.”
• “We introduced the Ford Transit Pro franchise into the business but it failed to deliver on what we believed to be its potential so we relinquished the franchise with Ford's agreement on 31st December 2025.”
• “Our Ellesmere Port dealership delivered a strong sales performance through its Omoda/Jaecoo franchise with sales outperforming our expectations. However, the performance of our Ford passenger car franchise proved extremely disappointing reflecting the position that Ford as a manufacturer currently find themselves in.”
• “In general terms the 2025 new vehicle market held up reasonably well reporting a year on year increase of 3.5% reaching sales of 2.02 million and it is hoped that this upward trend will continue in 2026.”
• “The used car sales departments remained fairly static in results terms with volume closely mirroring that of 2024. This is an area that we envisage will deliver significant improvements in 2026.”
• “All of our service departments performed reasonably well all showing year on year improvement. They will hopefully benefit in 2026 from the service parc being created through the Omoda/Jaecoo brands whose service intervals remain annual or at 10,000 mile intervals, whichever occurs first.”

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
