Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group's forecast for the going concern period to 31 October 2026 includes assumptions on projected growth and new business development across its sales channels. The recent trading performance and the current economic uncertainty, along with other matters set out in Note 2, indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt in the Group and company's ability to continue as a going concern. 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. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
