Going concern

Affirmed

“Having considered the cash position as at the signing date, available debt facility, detailed forecasts including the sensitivity and reverse stress testing performed, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of no less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict may have a negative impact on the company's operations and expose the company to certain challenges and risks.”
• “The ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict may have a negative impact on the company's operations and expose the company to certain challenges and risks.”
• “The financial markets continued to experience elevated levels of volatility throughout 2024, driven by persistent inflationary pressures and shifts in monetary policy. Rising costs of food, energy, payroll and consumables contributed to a broader inflationary environment and impacted both businesses and consumers.”
• “Energy prices remained a key driver of inflation during the year, although there were signs of stabilisation in the second half of 2024.”
• “In response to evolving economic conditions, the Bank of England reduced the base interest rate to 5% in August 2024, then to 4.75% in November 2024, and subsequently to 4.5% in February 2025. In May 2025, they reduced the base interest rate to 4.25% where it remains as of the financial statement publication date.”

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
