- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The financial year marked a transformative milestone for our company with the acquisition of the iconic Ruda Holiday Park at Croyde, from Park Dean Resorts. This multimillion-pound deal was supported by our long-term financial partners HSBC, and represents the largest single asset expansion in our 73-year history.”
