“The company ceased trading during the comparative period to 31 December 2023 when the business and trade was hived up or sold to other group companies on 1 April 2023. It is not intended for the company to re-commence trading in the foreseeable future.

The directors do not consider this has led to any material differences than if they were prepared on a going concern basis.”
