“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £30.1m as at 29 June 2025, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate... The individual assessment for The Sofa Delivery Company Limited is dependent on DFS Furniture plc not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to other members of the Group... and providing additional financial support during that period.”
Significant events
- “We are currently trialling providing our two person delivery service to third party retailers. We believe that there will be additional opportunities especially with seasonal furniture retailers and lower volume sofa retailers to provide a great customer service and maximise utilisation of our assets, generating incremental revenue.”
