Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Brebners
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The directors consider that although continued challenges to global economies from inflation and higher interest rates, alongside geopolitical uncertainty can be expected to impact trading volumes and revenue, this should not result in issues for the company as a going concern. Having made sufficient enquiries, and based upon the above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operating in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

“The company has given an unlimited guarantee in respect a Groupwide revolving credit facility of €200,000,000 together with a term loan of €20,000,000. At 31 December 2024 a combined amount of €210,720,000 (2023: €200,000,000) was outstanding, however no liability is expected to arise. This guarantee is secured by fixed and floating charges over the assets and undertakings of the company.”

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
