- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, and reviewing the Group forecasts which cover a period exceeding 12 months from the date of signature of the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Group acquired Reliance Equipment Limited, on 1 November 2023, Laundry Total BV, on 5 September 2024 and Decat Distribution Limited on 16 October 2024 (note 16). The acquisitions were selected to expand the company's International presence, as well as cross sell opportunities into existing JLA verticals.”

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
