Significant events
- “During the year the Executive Management Team completed a Pension buy-in, whereby the majority of its assets were transferred to Standard Life. This has removed the market risk exposure of the pension assets and liabilities.”
- “In prior year financial statements cash and bank overdrafts held within our cash pooling arrangement (notes 18 and 27) were offset and were presented in the balance sheets... Accordingly, the prior year reported amounts... have been restated to present cash and overdraft balances on a gross basis.”
