- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 2 March 2026, the Group was acquired by Project Power BidCo Limited, and WPEF IX Holdco 37 BV, a company incorporated in the Netherlands, became the ultimate controlling party. On the same date new term and revolving credit facilities, totalling €115.5m were completed with Arcmont and Natwest, and the asset-based financing facilities with BZ Commercial Finance DAC, were repaid in full.”
