- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have received confirmation from Land Securities Group PLC that they will continue to provide the necessary level of support to enable it to continue to operate for the 12 months from signing the financial statements. The directors have concluded 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
- “On 30 October 2024, Land Securities Group PLC acquired 100% of the share capital of dock10 and its immediate parent company Peel Media Services Limited.”
- “On 13 November 2024, Peel Media Studios Limited changed its name to LS Studios Limited.”
- “The CEO Mark Senior and Chairman Malcolm Wall have remained in post following the acquisition to assist with a smooth handover but both will step down from their positions at the end of September 2025. Alice Webb has been appointed as CEO of MediaCity and going forward will oversee both dock10 and the MediaCity estate as part of a plan to bring the two operations closer together.”
- “The long-awaited Film Studio Relief was finally granted in the year creating certainty around the company's Business Rates and runs for a period of 10 years.”
- “Following the year end, dock10 has reviewed its cost base to ensure it remains competitive, bearing in mind the challenging market conditions. As a result of this review a small number of senior management roles have been made redundant and the decision has been taken to close dock10's VFX business for which it is difficult to see a predictable level of return. In total 10 members of staff have been affected by these changes.”

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
