“The Directors are satisfied that the company has adequate resources for its foreseeable future needs and for this reason continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Company has received a letter of support from its ultimate parent company covering the period of 12 months from the date of the signing of the financial statements, aligning to the period to which the Directors have paid particular attention in assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis.”
Significant events

All UK warehousing operations were re-established in a modern purpose-built distribution centre owned by another Essilor Luxottica subsidiary on 1st January 2024.”
