- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Restructuring costs are as a result of a restructuring of the Branch Network which was completed in April 2025, with the removal of a layer of regional operational management, a reduction in the size of the salesforce and closure of a small number of underperforming branches.”
- “The Company has guaranteed the borrowings of other companies in the Group, headed by Eurocell plc, of £28,000,000 (2024: £1,000,000). No liability is expected to arise from this commitment.”
