- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The investment in this period includes further developments to our processes and staff, including the continued deployment of cloud software to augment our collaborative working approach both with external project teams and in a hybrid working environment. This investment has continued post year end with the enhancement of our senior leadership team, extension of the lease at our London based head office as well as a new regional office in Dubai, UAE. The Company continues to nurture successful relationships within the construction sector both in the UK and internationally. We have now established ourselves within sectors such as Mission Critical, whilst remaining a market leader within the workplace sector, and our international delivery team is well placed to further enhance our position within the Middle East despite the regional conflict post reporting period.”
