Audit & accounting basis

- FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“we have not identified, and concur with the directors' assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the going concern period.”
Significant events
- “During the year the Group was served notice on two of its leases by landlords for the purpose of redevelopment of the sites. This resulted in the Group permanently closing the Worthing club, on 25th January 2025, and the Stratford club on 2nd February 2025. These closures have reduced the trading estate to 79 clubs.”
- “On 3 June 2025, the Group agreed with its funders ICG and Barclays. to increase the amount of funding provided to the Group and extend the term of their loans by two years. The Unitranche term loan with the Group's controlling party (ICG) and Barclays revolving credit facilities have been increased and extended to November 2027 and September 2027, respectively.”

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
