Material uncertainty over going concern
As part of the reorganisation of the Jaguar Land Rover dealer network, the Company sold its dealership business to Marshalls Motor Group in April 2025. Following this transaction, the Company ceased trading. Accordingly, the directors have concluded that it is no longer appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a 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
