Significant events
- “Other payables include a provision recognised in respect of potential customer redress and associated costs relating to historical discretionary commission arrangements. This provision represents management's best estimate of the obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the latest available information and regulatory guidance.”
- “In January 2024, the FCA announced a review of historical discretionary commission arrangements in the regulated motor finance sector. In October 2024, the Court of Appeal, in three combined cases involving regulated motor finance transactions, concluded that credit brokers and lenders have a duty to inform customers about their commission arrangements.. The FCA in October 2025 proposed a redress scheme intended to compensate consumers impacted by commission being paid without their consent or knowledge. The scope of the redress scheme, as it was originally presented, extended beyond traditional motor finance and covers asset finance and any wheeled asset used by consumers as defined in the CCA.”
- “There were no material commitments held at the statement of financial position date (2024: £nil).”
- “There are no events that need disclosing after the reporting date.”
