- Affirmed
“Based on these forecasts, the availability of the undrawn facility, and the Company's current trading performance, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Network Rail has provided the Company with a signed letter of support dated 26th June 2026 to guarantee support for a period of twelve months following the signing of the FY26 financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company has entered into a performance bond with a value of £193k (2025: £103k) which may have given rise to liabilities in the Company if it had not met its obligations under the terms of the bonds. No material losses were anticipated or occurred in respect of the above contingent liability.”
