Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Given the assumptions above, and that the Directors are satisfied that the parent undertaking has agreed to support the company if required, with a letter of parental support in place, the Directors remain confident that the Group continue to operate in an agile way adapting to any continued travel disruption. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In January 2024, an option was exercised to extend the facility by £25m in order to provide additional working capital headroom for continued growth. This extension is effective until July 2025.”
- “On 7 December 2023, the Group refinanced its credit facilities with Lloyds Bank and NatWest. This included cancelling its current facility of £50m and CLBILS facility of £25m and entering into a new facility for £60m expiring in December 2025.”
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. 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
