Significant events
- “On 1 August 2025 the supreme court ruled that in many cases commission payments were legal. The FCA is consulting on a redress scheme however the Directors believe both that the cost of this would fall on individual lenders and not dealerships and that any arrangements they had in place were appropriate.”
- “On 31 July 2025 the company repurchased and immediately cancelled 1,387 Ordinary B shares with nominal value of £1 each from one of its directors for total consideration of £356,653.”
- “The trade and assets of the only subsidiary of the company were hived-up into S. G. Petch Limited immediately on acquisition during the previous year and following that the subsidiary has remained dormant. The subsidiary therefore qualified to be excluded from the consolidation under section 405 of the Companies Act 2006. The subsidiary was dissolved on 10 June 2025.”

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
