- Going concern
- Affirmed
“All trading activities of Rutland Water Cycling Ltd were transferred to its immediate parent company as of 1st April 2025. As a result, the company is no longer trading. However, the company continues to have the support of the wider Specialized group and therefore is able to settle all of its liabilities as they fall due. On this basis, the company is considered as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Since the year end, all trade within this company has been hived up to Specialized (UK) Retail Limited.”
- “2025 is expected to be a changeable year for Rutland Cycling Ltd as it will see its activities hived-up to it's immediate parent company Specialized UK Retail Ltd. This will simplify the business structure to one legal entity, allowing a consistent culture across the business and a unified offering to our customers, aligned to the wider company strategy of 'Road to Premium'.”

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
