- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has prepared forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the balance sheet ('the going concern review period'). Given that the Company operates as a limited risk distributor with pricing arrangements in place, is trading profitably in line with that model, has positive cash flows and a strong balance sheet and cash position throughout previous and forecasted periods, it has sufficient resources to meet liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern assessment period.”
Significant events
- “A dividend of £6,000,000 was paid in the year (2024 - £6m).”
- “On 13th April 2026 the company approved and declared a dividend of £600,000.”

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
