Finances

Financial history

No figures in the accounts data we hold.

Companies House shows accounts made up to 28 February 2025 (audit exemption subsidiary). They are not in the machine-readable bulk accounts files we read: they may have been filed on paper or as a PDF, or the company is large and files in another format. Nothing is shown rather than a guess.

Loading the group structure…

Built from the corporate people with significant control records matched to UK companies (Companies House, Open Government Licence v3.0; ownership graph of 19 September 2026). Control is shown as the nature of control the controller declared; the group count includes only active majority holdings (more than 50%), so holdings of 25-50% are drawn but not counted. Overseas parents that are not on the UK register appear only when a company names them.
