DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 27 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 27 September 2025.
Directors' responsibilities statement
|
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under Company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £2,005 (2024 - loss £9,992).
No dividends were declared or paid in the period (2024 - £Nil).
The Directors who served during the year were:

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 27 SEPTEMBER 2025
Going concern
Whilst the Company has ceased its current operations, the directors have no intention of liquidating the Company and will keep the Company in existence for the foreseeable future.
The Company has net liabilities of £123,702 as at 27 September 2025 (2024: £125,707). The Company has received a Group letter of support.
The Directors, who are common with those directors of WGL Topco Limited, have considered the position of the wider group, headed by WGL Topco Limited, when reaching their conclusion in respect of going concern.
During the year the Company met its day to day working capital requirements through use of its £25m Asset
Backed Lending facility and accumulated cash reserves. In December 2025 a two year extension of the facility
was signed with Barclays Bank. The extension takes the facility period out to April 2028.
The Group has produced a range of cash forecasts and projections that cover the period to September 2027 to assess its trading and operational performance and its ability to operate within the available facilities during the forecast period and to reflect the challenges experienced by the caravan and lodge market during the current economic slow down. These forecasts indicate that the Group will be able to operate within the level of its current facilities for the forecast period.
The Directors have modelled a range of reasonable worst case scenarios to assess the ability of the Group to continue in operational existence in the event these occur. These scenarios consider reductions to volumes and revenue and consider the impact of these on profit and cash generation. All of the reasonable worst case scenarios modelled indicate that the Company and wider group can continue to operate within the available facilities. The Directors have therefore prepared the accounts on a going concern basis.
Disclosure of information to auditor
|
Each of the persons who are Directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
∙so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware, and
∙the Director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information.
This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of s418 of the Companies Act 2006.
Post balance sheet events
|
On 23 December 2025, the Group agreed a 2 year extension of its existing £25m ABL facility with Barclays Bank. The facility runs to April 2028.
The auditor, Forvis Mazars LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
In preparing this report, the Directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Willerby Stocking Plan Limited (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 27 September 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 27 September 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;
∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
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 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.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
∙certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
∙the Directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the Directors' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.

WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 1, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors intend either to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Based on our understanding of the Company and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: the Bribery Act (2010), Data Protection legislation and anti-money laundering regulation.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:
∙Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
∙Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
∙Considering the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation and the Companies Act 2006.

WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
In addition, we evaluated the Directors’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgments and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
∙Making enquiries of the Directors and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
∙Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
∙Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
∙Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of the audit report
This report is made solely to the Company's members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
These financial statements have been presented in pound sterling which is the functional currency of the Company, and rounded to the nearest £.
The Company's accounting reference date is 30 September. Financial statements are made up to a 52 or 53 week period on a Saturday adjacent to 30 September each year. These financial statements are for a 52 week period ended 27 September 2025. The comparative figures are for the 52 week period ended 28 September 2024.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 27 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Early adoption of revised standards
|
On 27 March 2024, the FRC issued Amendments to FRS 102. The effective date for most amendments is accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The Amendments are mandatorily effective from 28 September 2026 but management has chosen to adopt these in the 2025 financial statements.
The most significant amendments are the replacement of Section 23, now renamed Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and Section 20 Leases. The many other less significant changes, including a new Section 2A Fair Value Measurement, are not currently expected to have a material impact.
The new revenue and leasing requirements seek to provide greater consistency and alignment to the international accounting standards, i.e., IFRS 15 and IFRS 16. The Group have performed an exercise in the year to evaluate the financial impact of these amendments. Under the new lease accounting requirements management have recognised on-balance sheet a lease liability based on the discounted value of the future commitments and a related ‘right-of-use’ asset.
Management has also reviewed existing revenue contracts to determine overall recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in line with the new requirements.
In respect of Willerby Stocking Plan Limited, there has been no material impact of the adopted revised standards.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 27 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Whilst the Company has ceased its current operations, the Directors have no intention of liquidating the Company and will keep the Company in existence for the foreseeable future.
The Company has net liabilities of £123,702 as at 27 September 2025 (2024: £125,707). The Company has received a Group letter of support.
The Directors, who are common with those directors of WGL Topco Limited, have considered the position of the wider group, headed by WGL Topco Limited, when reaching their conclusion in respect of going concern.
During the year the Company met its day to day working capital requirements through use of its £25m Asset Backed Lending facility and accumulated cash reserves. In December 2025 a two year extension of the facility was signed with Barclays Bank. The extension takes the facility period out to April 2028.
The Group has produced a range of cash forecasts and projections that cover the period to September 2027 to assess its trading and operational performance and its ability to operate within the available facilities during the forecast period and to reflect the challenges experienced by the caravan and lodge market during the current economic slow down. These forecasts indicate that the Group will be able to operate within the level of its current facilities for the forecast period.
The Directors have modelled a range of reasonable worst case scenarios to assess the ability of the Group to continue in operational existence in the event these occur. These scenarios consider reductions to volumes and revenue and consider the impact of these on profit and cash generation. All of the reasonable worst case scenarios modelled indicate that the Company and wider group can continue to operate within the available facilities. The Directors have therefore prepared the accounts on a going concern basis.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 27 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

|
WILLERBY STOCKING PLAN LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 27 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
|
|
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the Directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies
The Directors consider there to be no critical judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies.
Key source of estimation uncertainty
Due to the simplistic nature of the business the Directors do not consider there to be any key sources of estimation uncertainty.
|
|
The auditor's remuneration will be bourne by the parent company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company has no employees other than the directors. The Directors who held office in the current and prior period were remunerated through another group company, WGL Bidco Limited, and no part of these emoluments has been borne by the Company.
