Significant events
- “2024/25 has been another remarkable and impactful year for Bowles... delivering a surplus of £177K.”
- “Our income grew by 8%, outpacing cost increases, and we invested £150K back into the centre, while maintaining strong cash reserves of £1.4 million.”
- “Solar infrastructure is proving increasingly valuable, and we continue to pursue a refurbishment rather than replacement of the pool. Scheduled maintenance work and ongoing safety procedures ... ensure our facilities remain safe and fit for purpose.”
- “The success of our L&D work (which we deliver through a trading subsidiary, The Bowles Organisation), with corporate partners such as Legal & General, BAE Systems, and Historic Royal Palaces has been outstanding.”
- “Total income has increased this year compared to last year, £1,989,483 (2024 - £1,825,384) and the expenditure has increased in line, totalling £1,812,635 (2024 - £1,714,384) leaving a surplus of £176,848 (2024 - £110,550) at year end. A proportion of the income was due to grants and donations throughout the year.”
- “Further solar panels have been installed during the year.”

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
