Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors confirm that, after reviewing base case forecasts, capital expenditure commitments, working capital movements and expected cash flows, and existing cash facilities, they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the current financial year and for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. In forming this view, the directors note that under more severe downside scenarios they would continue to require the support of their ultimate parent company, Elior Group SA. The directors have asked for that support and have received it in writing. This support will not be cancelled or withdrawn and will allow the company to continue trading for the foreseeable future, from at least for 12 months after the signing of the financial statements for the year ending 30 September 2024”

Significant events

• “The United Kingdom's general election on 4 July 2024, brought a decisive Labour Party victory under Sir Keir Starmer, ending 14 years of Conservative governance. The company faces heightened risks from changes in government policies, legislation, and leadership.”

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
