- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, with directors assessing the company's ability to operate for at least 12 months from approval. During 2024, geopolitical pressures, macroeconomic conditions, and industry risks impacted both the company and the wider UK automotive and fleet markets. To assess resilience, sensitised cash flow forecasts were prepared under various scenarios, confirming the business is expected to remain profitable and cash generative.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw a challenging year for the UK Fleet and Leasing sector which operated against a backdrop of economic headwinds, including elevated interest rates, high inflation, and continued volatility in supply chains. Geopolitical tensions continued to impact the industry and wider economy contributing to component shortages and logistics uncertainty as well as increased global trade barriers impacting vehicle exports and vehicle pricing.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
