Significant events

• “earned the prestigious Great Place to Work certification in 2024.”
• “A collection of cottages, nearby to the Cotswold Motor Museum and cottages, was acquired at the end of 2024 to enhance our existing portfolio. Plans are underway for their refurbishment before they are made available as holiday lets later in 2025.”
• “The defined benefit pension scheme continues to present a risk, although the latest valuation of the fund continues to show a surplus as opposed to the large deficits of previous years and our requirement to contribute cash annually to reduce any deficit has now ceased. The board and management are also progressing with winding up the scheme and entered into a buy in arrangement with a reputable insurance company on 1st October 2024. The closure of the scheme is expected to occur in 2026, with enhanced financial security to the pension members.”
• “In October 2024, the Trustee purchased a buy in-policy with Just Group which will pay all members' benefits (other than uplifts to benefits arising from GMP equalisation).”

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
