“The Company has access to considerable financial resources and, as a consequence, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risk. The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis on the grounds that the parent Company has confirmed its current intention to provide support so the Company may continue operations for the next twelve months from the date of the approval of these accounts.”
Significant events
- “In October 2024, the Group announced our Five-Year Plan that we are confident will deliver at least £300m incremental adjusted profit before tax by 2029/30, releasing more than £2bn available for share buy-backs and dividends.”
- “we have sold 38 branded restaurants for a total consideration of £38m and remain confident of exiting the remaining affected sites over the next 12 months as planned.”
