- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “the RH Group concluded the purchase of the Coventry distributorship from Renault Trucks Commercials Ltd. This completed on the 31st of October 2024”
- “The acquisition included the freehold of the property in Coventry (Nuneaton)”
- “the key transaction of the year was the sale of Carlton Road Development Ltd, of which the group held a 67% shareholding. The disposal ended the directors' interest in the development land off Carlton Road, Nottingham, but yielded a significant return on original investment.”

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
