Significant events

• “These accounts have been impacted by a significant post balance sheet event where the group undertook a formal Restructuring Plan (RP) under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 which was approved by the High Court on 8 August 2025.”
• “The successful implementation of the RP enables the Group to accelerate the closure of underperforming or strategically misaligned stores, whether due to financial results, location, or other business priorities. This improves cashflows and access to the additional funding as explained above. The closure of 33 store in January 2026; The compromise of a further 71 store leases; and The compromise on business rates for all UK leases.”

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
