- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue to operate for at least twelve months from the date on which the Board approved the 2024 financial statements. The Company's forecasts and projections show that the Company has sufficient future income streams from the Managed Syndicate, whose approved underwriting capacity has increased in 2025 as part of the submission of the 2025 SBF. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and continue in operational existence. Accordingly, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The 2024 year was positive for the business and we have added significant strength to the executive team with the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer appointments, and a Head of Group Underwriting Operations who joined in March 2025.”
- “We have onboarded the Professional Lines team which has gone well and bolstered resource throughout the functions, this will help provide dedicated support to our underwriting teams.. The addition of Portfolio Solutions has been positive and we are currently seeking a Head of Line to take this forward in the future.”
- “We also developed our long-term strategic plan which outlines the underwriting strategy, operational and technological initiatives required to support the business in the future.”

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
