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

Significant events

• “In 2024 we continued to be impacted by high interest rates, inflation in every sector, high costs for gas and electricity and ever-increasing employee "cost of living" wage increases.”
• “Wood Leisure continues to focus on driving the business forward, upgrading park infrastructure, upgrading and renewing accommodation, implementing new technologies, training and developing staff and improving the customer experience in every way.”
• “Wood Leisure continues to prioritise sustainability and the environment and progresses towards Net Zero. Our EV chargers are becoming more popular, our fleet of electric park vehicles and electric park equipment continues to grow. We continue to monitor utility use, encourage recycling, continue our commitment to Play it Green and we have also installed more new roof top solar panels.”
• “CHAS has been our charity of the year and we raised the profile of the business in Perthshire by sponsoring a majestic Highland COO as part of the COO Trail organised by the Children's Hospices of Scotland.”
• “2024 saw the launch of our brand new HR platform, highlighting our commitment to our valued teams on our holiday parks. Employee retention and progression are paramount to the success of the business so training and promotional opportunities, support helplines for mental and physical health, options for flexible working and social interaction are key to the well-being of our employees.”
• “Major risk factors continue to be price inflation in every commodity necessary to operate the business, particularly the cost of holiday homes, utilities, wages, rates, corporation tax and all taxes.”
• “Staffing continues to be challenging and the retention of our well-trained employees is essential to business growth. National Insurances increases for the business will adversely impact us going forward as will the Government's proposed new employee legislation.”
• “On-going conflicts in Europe and the Middle East have implications for all of us and continue to give us all concern.”
• “Wood Leisure sold Campsie Glen Holiday Park in February 2024, providing capital to help purchase Gart Farm (adjacent to Callander Woods Holiday Park) in July 2024 and Faskally Woods Holiday Park in October 2024. A loan for the major purchase of Faskally Woods is being provided by RBS.”
• “Major challenges lie ahead the changes to IHT will adversely impact every family business in the UK. It will impact Wood Leisure's ability to thrive and it may well stall it's ambitions to "raise the bar" of the holiday park industry in Scotland.”
