Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' 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 financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “In June 2024, Village was acquired by funds managed by Blackstone, one of the world's largest alternative asset management firms with existing assets in the UK hospitality sector.”
• “Following the acquisition by Blackstone, Village announced an investment plan that will see more than 50% of its portfolio upgraded, this includes bedroom upgrades and bedroom extensions, refurbishments, and upgraded leisure facilities.”
• “On 31 October 2024, Village obtained a new senior credit facility and mezzanine credit facility, which replaced and extended its existing facility, which was due to expire in March 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
