Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Knight Goodhead Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Auditor concluded director's use of going concern basis appropriate. No material uncertainties identified that cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the prior year (2024), the company's freehold land and buildings were sold and leased back on a 10-year lease, enabling settlement of a long-term loan liability.”
- “In the current year (2025), a change in accounting policy was adopted by the company with regard to income recognition. Turnover is now recognised when tours have departed, rather than 10 weeks before the departure date.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
