Material uncertainty over going concern
Notwithstanding the Company's net current liabilities of £975.5m (2023: £1,186.2m), the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Directors have determined that the Company has sufficient resources and liquidity facilities to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').

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
