- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue as an operational business for the foreseeable future, being twelve months from the approval of the financial statements (until the end of February 2026, being the going concern period). This period is deemed appropriate to the nature of the principal activities of the business of the provision of fulfilment and corporate support services to other Amazon group undertakings and Amazon.com, Inc.'s ongoing commitment and proven ability to support the Company's operations. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Stuart Morgan resigned 20 November 2024.”
- “In 2024, the Company updated the Scope 1 emissions calculation methodology to include emissions from mobile transportation.”

- “In August 2024, the Company entered into a stock recharge agreement with Amazon Europe Core S.a.r.l. for all shares vested from that date forward.”
- “The loan payable to group undertakings was repaid during 2024.”

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
