Re: Financial records of PLC

You can get the financial statements (accounts) via companies house beta.
They will only tell you what the finances were like when the year end was. The information will be out of date now

They are also meant to obscure,not explain anything important about a company.
The big problem is you can't rely on what was said months ago as a guide to post-Covid plans.

If a company wan staff gone they will be got rid of. The only question is how smooth the process is and whether they screw people over.
A union rep can help. Don't trust HR. They work for the company, not the employees.
If they follow the law and don't discriminate there is not much you can do. The main hope is that they may offer more than the statutory minimum to encourage staff to go easily.
If there is a genuine grievance (legally, not if you are upset) you might get more out of them.

Otherwise take the money and move on. It might not be easy, but if they want her gone then it's the only way.
