- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “During the year the Group saw the Lotus model revert from agency to wholesale, conversely this had the impact of increasing the consignment stock which is evident in the 375% increase from 2023.”
- “The Group undertook a significant capital investment program in the prior year, and this continued into 2024 as the Group was pleased to complete another significant site refurbishment.”
- “The Group continues to look forward, during 2025 the Group ended its representation with Ineos Automotive, whilst looking strategically to expand its operations with both existing brand partners and new ones.”

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
