“Wren Midco Limited is a subsidiary within the Wren Topco group ("the Group") and therefore the Directors consider that its financial position and forecast are inherently linked to that of the Group as whole. The Group made a loss after taxation of £10,761,000 (2024: £7,197,000) for the year ended 31 March 2025 and has net liabilities at this date of £27,060,000 (2024: £1,827,000). On 19 June 2025 the Group re-financed its operations through entering into a new ABL arrangement, secured on the same assets, with revolving credit facilities of £110m over a five year term. The new ABL facility provides the Group with additional headroom and flexibility coupled with lower borrowing costs. This refinancing ensures that the Group has the capability and opportunity to grow significantly over the next five years. The Directors have considered the financial position of the Company and the Group and the Group's forecast and concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Company is in receipt of a letter of support from its parent company who has confirmed that they will not recall the debt within 12 months.”

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
