“On the basis that the various forecasts and plausible downside assessments prepared by the Directors, indicate that the Group has sufficient funding and support to meet liabilities as they fall due, the Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis and therefore these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the contrary.”
Significant events
- “The wider Group completed a successful refinance exercise to replace existing loans that were due to expire in 2025, with a new four-year term loan that has further increased liquidity levels.”
- “The new Eastern Counties region is already contributing £17,800,000 of the year end order book value.”
- “The business has achieved an improved average tender decision success rate of 25.3% (2023: 23.8%) and has won orders of £330,001,655 during the year (2023: £153,427,768). This has resulted in a healthy order book value of £503,997,946 at the end of 2024, heading into 2025 (2023: £446,331,659).”
