- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is in a strong position giving the Directors a confident expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that it is able to face future challenges. As such the Directors are satisfied that the Company remains a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company incurred exceptional administration costs during the period of £Nil (2024: £7,249,421). The prior year costs related to the impairment of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) where the expected recoverable amount was lower than the carrying value at the balance sheet date.”
- “This, combined with a sharp decline in EV residual values, led to the prior year impairment.”
- “Dividends of £Nil (2024: £6,600,000) were declared post year end.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
