Material uncertainty over going concern
In October 2025 it was announced that the Company would be transferring its operations, assets and liabilities into other fellow WPP Group companies. This is currently expected to happen in 2026, with the intention of also liquidating the legal entity in 2026. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern.

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
