“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
- “Trading for the year ended 31 March 2025 was strong, reflecting continued recovery in leisure demand and the benefits of the investment programme undertaken in recent years.”
- “The spa continued to perform well following the enhancements completed in 2024, with increased demand for both thermal facilities and treatments.”
- “The move to a new banking partner is expected to finalise before the end of the calendar year. All covenants are standard and achievable, and the refinancing includes a Revolving Credit Facility to provide additional financial flexibility.”
- “Planned developments include ongoing refurbishment of guest areas and continued improvement of the resort's food, beverage and spa offerings. Operational efficiencies will continue to be pursued through procurement processes and cost management initiatives. No major capital projects are planned.”
