Going concern

Affirmed

“All businesses are now open at full capacity. The forecast for both profit and cash for 2025 are positive and the Goodwood Group expects to continue to grow in all areas of the business in 2025 and beyond. Following the re-financing exercise of the Goodwood Group, the Company is well funded and secure for the future. As a consequence, the Board consider that, at the time of approving the financial statements, the Company has adequate resources to continue to trade for the foreseeable future, and not less than one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Goodwood Hotel Limited had another difficult year in 2024 as wider market conditions continued to provide a challenging backdrop for hospitality trading. The combination of high inflation, higher interest rates and electoral uncertainty meant that both corporate and leisure customers were reticent to spend money on anything but essentials.”
• “Work continues on planning the ambitious project to completely remodel and improve the hotel but work remains unlikely to start until 2026 at the earliest, given the level of cost and upheaval required.”
• “The Goodwood Hotel Limited has committed to a further £1m improvement fund for the bedrooms and communal spaces with a focus on roof and window repairs to maintain the condition of the building.”
• “Two further cottages are in the process of being converted to self-catered accommodation and will be on sale in the latter part of 2025 taking the total offering to 6 cottages with another two to be added in 2026.”

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
