Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The group's forecast for the period up to 31 December 2026 shows that it will meet its obligations and liabilities as they fall due through that forecast period. The directors have assessed the group forecasts and have not identified any plausible scenario which would indicate the existence of a material uncertainty. The group operates centralised treasury and banking arrangements and the various companies within it benefit from the support of each other. The directors have assessed those arrangements and the availability of funds within the group during the forecast period. On the basis of these assessments the directors consider that the group will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
