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 original financial statements were authorised for issue. We have modelled downturns in forecasts to a level that is in excess of the downturns experienced in the last recession and have concluded the company can see through the current economic environment within its committed bank facilities.”

Significant events

• “In 2024 we were awarded two National HR Awards, we won the Employee Wellness Initiative of The Year, and were voted Hospitality and Leisure Company of the Year.”
• “The company celebrated its 66th birthday in 2024.”
• “Our solar panels continue to generate significant power. The 83 x 405Kw generated 34,000 kWh and the 50 x 385 Kw panels generated 17,000 kWh at Shorefield Country Park. At Oakdene Forest Park the 45 x 405 Kw panels generated 17,000 kWh and the 84 x 405 kW generated 30,000 kWh.”
• “The solar panels at Swanage Coastal Park have been effective, generating a combined 10,000 kWh in 2023/24, providing a compelling argument to expand across our accommodation.”
• “An additional 23 NEST installations were completed for the holiday home owners and we continue to encourage more installations.”
• “We implemented a monthly PC consumption report in May 2024, a behavioural exercise to encourage staff to shut down their PC's properly when not in use. This resulted in a 17% decrease in wasted power across the business from May to October.”
• “The 40 EV chargers installed across the parks are continuing to prove popular, with many holidays booked based on the availability of EV charging directly from their accommodation.”
• “Shorefield Holidays have been developing our park at Merley Court into a residential parks home site and have made key decisions with energy efficiency in mind.”
• “Notably, one of our biggest investments in this period is the introduction of an energy management platform.”
• “We are participating in a tree-planting scheme. Our donation in 2024 was £799.”
• “Dividends paid in the year total £763,200 (2023: £1,097,100).”
• “Donations to charitable organisations amounted to £3,358 (2023: £4,183).”
• “During the year the company paid rent in relation to the current year of £1,305,000 (2023: £1,005,000) to a pension fund for the benefit of the directors.”
• “At the year end the company has a debtor of £400,000 (2023: £nil) in respect of a loan.”

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
