“The directors have received a letter of support from the Company's ultimate parent undertaking, AFI Rentals Group Limited, for a period of no less than twelve months from the date these financials are signed. ... Having carefully considered this analysis as a whole, the directors concluded there to be a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue to support the Company for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the group refinanced its loan facilities, securing a new £90 million revolving asset-based loan facility for a four-year term with Wells Fargo Capital Finance (UK) Limited. As part of the refinancing exercise the maturity dates of the group's mezzanine and loan note debt facilities were also extended until February 2029.”

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
