Going concern

Affirmed

“At the current time the company has sufficient financial support to meet its ongoing working capital requirements. There is currently an overdraft facility in place with Barclays Bank. The company has obtained a letter of support from its parent entity, Belfast City Council, confirming sufficient resources will be made available to the company for at least the next twelve months. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The company hosted 47 community/charity events in the financial year 2025, representing a support value of £53k, with 39,000 patrons attending.”
• “The company participated in the city-wide reusable cup scheme in February 2025 to reduce single use plastic.”
• “ICC Belfast secured three major international awards, including Best UK Venue, Most Innovative and High-Tech Venue, and Best Convention Centre.”
• “The company launched its own Learning and Development platform and invested in the structure of its Sales Team.”

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
