Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have concluded that despite the challenging economic and trading environment, and the judgements and estimates inherent in the forecasts, that the Group and company have sufficient financial resources and mitigating actions available to them to meet their financial obligations as they fall due over the forecast period, and that therefore no material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt over the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-24 vs 2023-09-26

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
