- Affirmed
“The Company is reliant on the support of its ultimate parent Company, Eagle Superco Limited, to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. However, the directors consider that the Company is an integral part of Eagle Superco Limited structure and strategy, which is evidenced by a letter of comfort from Eagle Superco Limited, which states its commitment to provide necessary financial support to ensure that the Company is a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 23 May 2023, the Company was acquired by Busy Bees Holdings Limited.”
- “The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle Superco Limited.”
- “Following the acquisition of the Company, there is no current plan to expand the freehold property ownership and the company will support the operation of the nurseries that are utilising the property in the Group.”
- “During the year, the Group drew down on its RCF facility to fund acquisitions completed during the year. The maximum amount drawn at any one time was £38.0m. The amount drawn at 31 December 2024 was £24.0m; an amount of £16.0m is held for bank guarantees leaving available undrawn RCF facility of £60.0m at 31 December 2024.”
- “In the period to July 2025, the Group has performed ahead of forecast in relation to cashflows, occupancy and costs. At 31 July 2025 the Group has no amount drawn of RCF, with £16.0m held for guarantees and therefore has £84.0m of available RCF.”
