- Affirmed
“The Company is reliant on its parent undertaking, Frasers Group Plc, for its continued financial support. As part of the Group, the Company has access to considerable financial resources via access to intercompany borrowing. Furthermore Frasers Group Plc, as controlling party, has confirmed that it, and its subsidiary companies, do not intend to demand repayment of the amounts due from group undertakings for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company, with support from the group, has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in prepared the annual report and accounts.”
Significant events
- “In June 2024, the company exited a lease early for a new property it planned to occupy. The operating lease commitment in these financial statement includes amount due in relation to the lease. The termination of this lease reduces the commitment disclosed at 28 April 2024 by £1.9m.”

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
