The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The directors are pleased with the company's continued strong health and safety performance, with zero RIDDOR-reportable incidents and zero high-potential incidents during the year.”
- “The decision to acquire Ambrose House in 2026, co-locating the General Works and Construction teams and releasing 1 Hucclecote, was taken with a view to long-term operational collaboration and value rather than short-term cost.”
