Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Consequently, the directors are confident that the Group and the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In September 2025, the Group agreed amendments to its borrowing facilities, amending liquidity and leverage covenants and reducing to 2.00% the minimum interest margin on the senior term loan that must be paid in cash until 31 March 2027.”
- “The Group has actively monitored the macroeconomic environment throughout 2024 and 2025 and adapted its supply and business strategy accordingly. Inflationary increases have been passed through to customers where possible and a strategy of forward purchases of energy has been deployed, when advantageous, both to provide cost certainly and to minimise overall cost increases.”
- “In 2024, the Group saw a softening of demand for holiday homes in higher price brackets, but demand has held up for lower priced used units. Margins were lower year-on-year, with profit growth driven by significant volume growth compared to 2023.”
- “The Group regularly upgrades hardware and software to improve network and application performance. The Group maintained ISO27001 compliance in the year and has invested heavily to improve its cyber security position and to enhance its IT platform and improve and integrate its systems.”

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
