Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of writing (April 2025) the directors are delighted that management accounts for Q1 are ahead of budget expectations. The directors have prepared forecasts for the period to April 2026 and are confident that the group will continue to remain profitable in 2025/26. The forward booking position for coach holidays in particular is very encouraging and it is anticipated that the group's extensive range of holidays will continue to benefit from market consolidation. Therefore, the directors are confident that the company and group will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “The group has acquired land in North Somerset to build a new headquarters, coach workshop and parking facility. Phase one of the build was awarded to the successful bidder during the year with work to commence post year end. This is a major project for the business with phase one estimated to cost circa £1.5m”
• “Many Cities in the UK have implemented Clean Air Zones. Significant ongoing investment is required to upgrade and/or replace vehicles to meet compliant standards.”
• “The significant fluctuations in global oil (and consequently fuel) prices along with any instability in Eastern Europe or the Middle East could adversely affect the price of raw materials, specifically fuel but also mechanical components and tyres. Primary concern is the cost of diesel and oil.”
• “Significant national shortage of PCV drivers due to complex and burdensome legislation and training requirements. Group invested in own Driver Training Programme and improved pay arrangements.”

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
