In addition, Dermot Desmond, the ultimate beneficial owner of Premier, has confirmed that he is fully supportive of the Group and has agreed to review on its merits any requests for additional working capital support, if required, to enable the Group to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024.”
Significant events

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
