- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over the ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 15 December 2022, the Company gave notice to all employees of its intention to close all own retail stores during 2023 creating a number of expected redundancies and costs associated with the closures. At December 2024 redundancy costs and provisions of costs associated with the closures were released.”

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
