- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors of Kingfisher Information Technology Services (UK) Limited, having made appropriate enquiries, consider that adequate resources exist for the Company to continue in operational existence and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2025. Furthermore, the Directors have concluded that there is not a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from date of approval of financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Group announced the sale of its Brico Dépôt Romania business. The sale was agreed on 18 December 2024, and is completed during the first half of 2025/26.”
- “In September 2023, the Company commenced formal consultation with employee representatives regarding its proposal to implement a new operating model restructuring programme.”

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
