Material uncertainty over going concern
As referred to in the strategic report on page 4, in November 2023, the JDE Global R&D vice president announced the full closure of the UK R&D facility in Banbury. As a result, it is anticipated that the company will fully cease trading in 2025. The annual financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern. Further details can be found in Note 2.

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
