Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the directors are confident that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, through accessing the Company's cash held on deposit with its intermediate parent Company, SSP Financing Limited. The directors are satisfied, based on reasons detailed in note 1.2, that the Company will continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “During the period we enhanced our portfolio including renewing and extending important parts of our contracts. This included the opening of The Vinery, our first premium bar at London Heathrow Airport.”
• “We also secured a significant new deal with Liverpool John Lennon Airport, to extend our operations at the airport until at least 2036. This deal will enable us to increase the capacity of our restaurants at the airport by nearly 50%.”
• “We continue to make significant investments in new equipment in our estate under the Refresh programme covering coffee machines, ovens, lifts, dishwashers and back of house upgrades.”
• “We have made a significant investment in new tills which will be rolled out across our estate in FY25, helping to support our front-line staff whilst enhancing customer service.”

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
