“The company has a £50m Hire Purchase facility with HSBC which it can further draw down on a monthly basis based on new equipment adding to the rental fleet in addition to the day to day facilities it provides an overdraft facility of up to £1.5million. In March 2022 the company agreed with Societe Generale a further facility of £20 million over 3 years to further finance the business, there have been no covenant breaches during the year. In early 2025 when this facilty came to an end, it was replaced with intercompany funding from the parent company under market conditions. The intercompany loan facility of £22 million with the earliest maturity date of February 2028. The Directors have evaluated that there is intent from the parent company to support the UK business for the foreseeable future such that the facility will not be revoked prior to February 2028. After reviewing the forecasts and projections prepared for the company up to 31 December 2026, which covers a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the Directors believe that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

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
