Material uncertainty over going concern
In late 2024, upon direction from the shareholder, the directors took the decision to cease trading with the intention to wind up the business by the end of 2025. Post year end the trade and assets have moved to the wider group. As such the directors have prepared the financial statements on a non-going concern basis.

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
