- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The business is well placed to react to the ever-changing environment due to its agile management structure. ... Consequently the Directors consider the company to be a going concern and have drawn up these financial statements on that basis.”

Significant events
- “During the year, a new subsidiary was acquired - Gloucester Place Limited - home to 'The Queens', a pub well-loved by locals.”
- “This has continued in the period following this report, with the acquisition of 'The Schooner', which was the last remaining property not owned by the group in the Maritime Quarter Area, completing the group's presence in this key location.”
- “The company had a legacy operation of 10 holiday cottages in Pontrhydfendigaid, West Wales, which secured planning permission in April of 2025 to convert them from holiday lets to full-time accommodation, which we would then sell individually. Works to the properties completed in May 2026, with the first 4 properties selling in the same month, with 6 further houses and 5 apartments to be sold to local owners only. The proceeds from the above sales will be reinvested into operations in Swansea or added to our cash reserves to be invested into group and related companies.”
