Going concern
Affirmed

“The management team has carried out a detailed review of the Group's liquidity position over the next 12 months, taking into account economic headwinds such as tightening consumer spending and cost inflation. Based on this analysis, the Board is satisfied that there is sufficient liquidity headroom, and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
