- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

- “Our refurbished Grand Ballroom with full AV spec has attracted events, with many more booked for the coming year.”
- “Shiprow Village with its many indoor and outdoor venues continues to perform well, driving food and beverage revenues.”
- “The group intends to continue to develop its food and beverage offering and to invest in its accommodation. It is well placed to serve as a hospitality hub for the Tall Ships Races, which are coming to Aberdeen in the Summer of 2025.”

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
