Significant events
- “In September 2025, the company's main customer experienced significant disruption to its global operations as a result of a significant cyber-attack. This extraordinary event had a knock-on effect to the company causing significant operational disruption. At the time of signing these financial statements, operations had largely returned to pre-incident levels.”
