Significant events
- “Given the ongoing losses incurred by the business and the evaluation of future operations, the Company undertook a process to seek buyers for all or part of the business.”
- “As part of this process, the Company completed the sale of the trade and assets of 14 points of sale to Elite Garages on 18 April 2026 and 35 points of sale to Formula One Autocentres on 30 April 2026.”
- “Following these sales and transfers, it was no longer considered economically viable or feasible to continue operating the remaining business.”
- “Accordingly, the remaining trading centres ceased trading on 1 May 2026, were formally closed on 30 May 2026, and a solvent wind-down of the Company commenced thereafter.”
