- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At 31 December 2024, the group was funding its working capital requirement via an invoice discounting facility and a trade loan facility, all of which by their very nature were on demand facilities. The facility quantum and pricing is agreed with our primary lender on an annual basis, with revised facilities put in place in April 2025 providing the group with sufficient liquidity and working capital to ensure the group remains as a going concern. Our lender has verbally confirmed its expectation that as part of their review due in April 2026 it will continue to support the group with the provision of our existing invoice discounting and trade loan facilities with increased capacity if required for working capital purposes based on forecasted growth, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In Q4 2024 we also invested in the acquisition of the business and assets of Sambro International Limited, a major player in the European branded toy market. The acquisition boosted internal talent, expanded our already extensive product line with new categories and deepened our footprint into key European markets, setting us up for further double-digit revenue growth in 2025.”
- “We have and will continue to invest in the business and a number of capital projects, with the most important investment being the relocation to the group's new purpose built, state-of-the-art Head Office facility. The build is due for completion at the end of 2025 and we remain on track to complete the relocation during the first half of 2026.”

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
