- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In their assessment of going concern, Make's Directors have considered the impact of inflation and the high interest rates and difficult economic climate. This has had a significant impact on the company's operations, despite the Group having no borrowings. The high cost of construction and subsequent effect on demand for new projects has dented the revenue, but the gradual reduction in inflation has eased cost pressure in 2025. Make used its strong cash buffer throughout 2024, and has cut its variable and overhead costs in 2024 to continue as a going concern and progress towards a return to profitability.”

Significant events
- “Make approached 2024 with caution following a challenging 2023. With global economic conditions remaining unfavourable and several projects held up in planning, Make took the strategic decision early in the year to implement a company-wide cost-cutting initiative, which included workforce restructuring.”
