Significant events
- “During the year ended 31 August 2025, Birtley House continued its long-standing tradition as an independent, wholly family owned nursing home business. Celebrating its 93rd year of operation, the Group has maintained its reputation for leadership and innovation within the care sector.”
- “The Group remains committed to environmental sustainability and community engagement. Its green initiatives, including a wood fuelled boiler, home grown produce and other environmentally friendly practices, continue to reduce environmental impact while supporting long term efficiency.”
- “The safety and privacy of our residents are our top priorities-not just physically, but digitally. That's why we are proud to hold the Cyber Essentials certification, demonstrating our commitment to robust cyber security practices.”
- “Economic conditions during the period remained challenging, with continued inflationary pressure and elevated interest rates impacting both operating costs and consumer behaviour.”
- “The Group continued to invest in the maintenance and enhancement of its historic property, including compliance with evolving fire safety and regulatory requirements.”
- “Staffing remains a key operational focus. Workforce levels and agency usage are closely monitored to ensure cost effective, high quality care delivery.”
- “Birtley Mews Limited ("BML") has given security to Stevens & Bolton Trustees Limited over the proceeds of future sales of apartments by BML up to the value of the amounts received from the sales of apartments by BML to the current residents. The aggregate of these amounts at 31 August 2025 was £3,330,000 (2024: £3,390,000).”
- “Birtley House Group Limited ("BHGL") has given security in the form of individually registered legal charges over the West Wing apartments sold, excluding amounts held as returnable debentures (within creditors due in more than one year). The potential additional liability to BHGL is limited to the lower of the sum paid by the existing resident, the aggregate of which, at 31 August 2025, amounted to £4,565,000 (2024: £4,540,000), and the sum obtained on resale.”
