Going concern

Affirmed

“After considering the forecasts and sensitivities, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Company delivered a resilient performance during 2025 despite a challenging economic environment. Performance was achieved against a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty, which significantly impacted consumer spending among e-commerce customers as a result of ongoing inflationary pressures and increases in the cost of living.”
• “The company's sales were lower year on year at £182,028k (2024: £193,675k), representing a decrease compared with the prior year. The reduction in revenue primarily reflects softer consumer spending within the e-commerce market as a result of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and wider cost-of-living pressures.”
• “Gross profit was at £23,855k (2024: £23,359k) and 13.1% (2024: 12.1%). The year on year increase of 1% is primarily driven by a more favourable product and customer mix, together with the Company's continued focus on cost management and optimisation of commercial and operational solutions.”
• “The company recorded an operating profit in the year of £1,044k (2024: £1,208k). The decrease compared with the prior year was mainly due to market-wide inflationary pressures associated with the continued cost-of-living environment, which increased the company's overhead and operating cost base, together with higher IT and project-related management fees.”
• “As at 31 December 2025, the Company had net current liabilities of £11,440k, including £9,538k due to Group undertakings. During the year, the Company made an early repayment and settled in full an outstanding Group loan of £7,371k, reflecting its available cash reserves.”
• “The auditor, Menzies LLP, was appointed on 15 September 2025 to fill a casual vacancy.”
• “In the prior financial year, the investment in WN Direct Limited (Company No. 07704460) was fully impaired and written off as the company was struck off the register on 15 October 2024.”
• “The intra-group loan bore interest at 3.3% per annum on the opening principal balance and was contractually repayable in annual instalments to 25 March 2028. The loan was fully repaid during the year.”

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
