Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on forecasts prepared, which have been stress tested, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the period through to 31 December 2026 thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The industry was significantly affected by macroeconomic factors such as inflation, overall economic growth, and the UK entering a recession in Q4 of 2023, which notably dampened consumer spending.”
• “2024 represented a continuation of tough market conditions from the fallout of this. Additionally, market dynamics played a crucial role as shifts in consumer preferences, technological advancements, and heightened competitive pressures directly impacted profitability.”

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
