- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Accordingly, the directors continue to be satisfied that the Company and the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future inclusive of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements and despite the Company being in a net current liability position (which is caused by the Amounts owed to the Company's immediate parent company) that adopting the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements for the Company, as a member of the Group, is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “In May 2025 an extension of the existing borrowing facility was confirmed.”

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
