“The company has net current liabilities of £105,790,000. Greene King Limited has agreed to provide continuing financial support to enable the company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The most recent triennial actuarial valuation of the Spirit Group (Legacy) Pension Scheme as at 30 June 2024 was completed in June 2025. The valuation revealed a funding surplus of £0.1m and that no recovery plan is required.”
- “The company is aware of the 2023 High Court ruling relating to the validity of certain historical pension changes in the case of Virgin Media Limited, and the appeal to the Court of Appeal which was dismissed in 2024. Since the balance sheet date, the government has announced its intention to introduce legislation to give affected pension schemes the ability to retrospectively obtain written actuarial conformation that historic benefit changes met the necessary standards.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
