Material uncertainty over going concern
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 have reviewed the going concern basis and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern. The directors do not consider this has led to any material differences than if they were prepared on a going concern basis.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
