Significant events

• “On the 31st March 2025, Vestatec (U.K.) Limited, was acquired by Ash & Lacy Automotive Holdings Limited (Registration Number: 13552947), which in the view of the directors, provides excellent business synergy and hence, a platform for sustained medium and long-term growth.”
• “Subsequent to the reporting date, on 31 March 2025, the Company was sold to a third party. The transaction was completed after the balance sheet date and therefore represents a non-adjusting post balance sheet event under FRS 102 Section 32.”

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
