Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources and finance facilities to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 month period from the date these financial statements were approved. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. ... Whilst the directors do not envisage the need for parental support to enable the company to continue as a going concern, a letter of support has been received from Boparan Private Office Limited, the ultimate parent company, which commits to providing support, should the need arise, to allow the company to pay its debts as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-28 vs 2023-12-30

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
