Going concern

Affirmed

“At 31 December 2024 the company's current assets exceeded its current liabilities by £30,337,000 (2023: £486,000). The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The going concern period assessed by the directors is the period to 30 September 2026. The validity of this assumption depends on Bureau Veritas SA (the company's parent undertaking) continuing its support by providing adequate financing facilities. The company has a cash pooling agreement with the parent company which allows them to access financial support where needed which supports the going concern of the business. The directors are comfortable with the support as provided given the financial health of the parent undertaking and its group. Based on this, the director has obtained confirmation of continued support for the Company, from Bureau Veritas SA, for a period of at least one year from the date of these financial statements”

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
