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 the 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

• “The group continued to execute a highly successful inorganic growth strategy, building on two strategic acquisitions in FY24 including one of Suffolk's oldest family-run coach businesses, Simonds of Botesdale in May 2024.”
• “Following a full strategic review, the directors deemed the school technology division, known as Vectare to be non-core to operations and lacking in synergies with the predominately Public Service Vehicles (PSV) focussed business and was subsequently carved-out of the wider group structure in August 2024.”
• “Since year-end, the group successfully made its largest acquisition to date, adding Go-Ahead's East Anglian operations under the Konectbus brand.”
• “On 31 March 2025 the company acquired the remaining 25% of the issued share capital from a director of Flagfinders (Ctb) Limited.”
• “On 31 May 2024, 100% of the issued share capital of the company was acquired by VBO Transport Limited by way of a share for share exchange, both companies being under common control.”
• “On 7 August 2024, by way of a capital reduction and demerger, the transport operating business was transferred from VBO Transport Limited to Transport Made Simple Limited, which became the ultimate parent company of the group.”
• “On 28 August 2024, Vectare Limited changed its name to Central Connect Transport Limited, and VBO Transport Limited changed its name to Vectare Limited.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
