“Financial forecasts extending at least 12 months ahead indicate that the Group is well-positioned to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern assessment period. These forecasts also demonstrate continued compliance with the financial covenants, with sufficient headroom maintained. Additionally, the Group is projected to remain cash positive. Confirmation has been received that the Company will continue to be supported via group funding as required. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Group and Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Following a challenging trading period in the beginning of 2024 with a marked drop in demand linked to reduced consumer confidence, the Directors initiated a sale process for the business. The sale process concluded with a Share Purchase Agreement being signed to sell Verdant Leisure Bidco Limited to Valley Newco Limited, an investment vehicle of the Group's funder LGT, on 24 December 2024. This Share Purchase Agreement was approved by the Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA') in April 2025, and the change of ownership was completed 19 May 2025. The change of control was effective from the 24 December 2024.”
- “The Group made the decision to sell Golden Coast Sporting Villas Limited during 2025 which has improved the Group's liquidity.”
- “On 10 February 2026, a fatal workplace incident occurred at one of the Company's sites. Investigations are ongoing, and the Group is fully cooperating with the relevant authorities and supporting team members involved. The Group has engaged appropriate legal advisers and notified its insurers in relation to the incident.”
