Audit & accounting basis

- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have concluded that it is appropriate the Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis. As at 31 December 2024, the Company had liquidity of £57.3m made up of cash and cash equivalents. The directors have considered the Company's net current liabilities on its going concern position. This net liability position is predominantly related to performance obligations not yet satisfied, associated with Points issued, but not yet redeemed by members. The Company has a number of levers, within its control, that can influence the timing of the usage of this balance as required, therefore, this factor does not impact its going concern status (refer to Note 18).”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company derecognised the right of use assets following termination of office leases. The derecognition occurred due to the Company relocating its office premises.”
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, the Company made an early repayment of its Revolving Credit Facilities of £9m on 30 July 2025 and £25m on 31 July 2025 (Note 19).”

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
