Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have concluded, after making enquiries, that they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from signing the financial statements and therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, Eurobonds (listed in the Cayman Islands) totaling £111.095m (2024: £60.713m) were issued by the company to its holding company, Peel Finance Holdings Limited, and £289.234m (2024: £102.874m) were redeemed, the balance at 31 March 2025 was £215.969m (2024: £394.108m).”
- “During the year there was a restructuring of lending which resulted in an increase in both loans to and loans from group undertakings. This had no impact on the results for the year or the net assets, however some of the loans to group undertakings were subsequently repaid resulting in a redemption of Eurobonds.”
- “In the current year, the Peel Group has undertaken a restructuring of their financing structure, which included the settlement and acquisition of intercompany debt to divisional financing entities back into Peel Finance UK Limited.”

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
