Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to the section titled 'Going Concern' within note 1 of the financial statements, which indicates that the company reported a loss of £177k for the year ended 31 December 2024 and ended the year with net current liabilities of £10.4m.

Significant events

• “The year ending December 2024 was significantly impacted by the planned refurbishment of all 312 bedrooms to introduce the new Crowne Plaza Work Life bedroom into the hotel.”
• “Overall hotel revenues decreased by 2.1% on the prior year result to £9,179,903 a positive result on the back of reduced inventory.”
• “Despite the lack of inventory, the hotel hosted many large-scale sporting events (Athletics, Tennis & Badminton) in the year which supported occupancy and created a strong repeat base from this segment across the full year.”
• “A change in Government delivered a disappointing Q3 result with the annual Political Party conferences being not as well attended as previous years.”
• “Overall payroll percentage for the year was 29.9% up on the prior year's result of 27.47% as the NMW increased salaries and the company took the decision to adopt an aggressive market position in terms of rates of pay to attract and retain key talent.”
• “Direct costs were controlled well throughout the year although cost inflation across all areas impacted on the operating gross profits in the key areas. Utility costs reflecting the general market conditions softened in Q3/Q4 and helped aid EBITDA conversions although conversely raw food costs continued to spiral upwards impacting on the gross profit.”
• “During the year, on 3 May 2024, a groupwide facility was entered into, the total facility for the group was for £36m, over a 5-year term, with final repayment date of 3 May 2029.”
• “During the year the company issued Preference shares to the value of £4.5m to Surfreset Limited (a related party by virtue of common directors and owners) and also agreed a loan with the ultimate parent company to the value of £1.5m repayable on the 31st December 2029.”
• “The Board obtained a professional valuation of the hotel in Q4 2024 and, after giving due consideration to the current market value of the Crowne Plaza Birmingham City Centre and the UK Hotel Investment market decided to recognise a decrease in value based upon the valuation report. This has been reflected in the net asset position of the company.”

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.
