- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors, having assessed the responses of the directors of the company's ultimate parent to their enquiries, including assessment of their forecasts and available banking facilities, for the going concern assessment period, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt over the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Negotiations for the March 2021 rent reviews were concluded during March 2023 with both memorandum of rent review being signed on 16th March 2023. Rental payments from McCormick to the lessor were agreed at £215,000 per annum and from the lessee to McCormick at £220,000 per annum. Both rent increases were backdated to commence from March 2021 and reflected in 2023 results.”

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
