- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having taken all of the above factors into account, and based on the forecasts prepared, the Directors consider it appropriate that the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have not identified any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Following the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, there was a fundamental shift in industry understanding regarding the appropriateness and deployment of certain fire-stopping materials. This change in industry understanding does not relate to the Company's ordinary course of business.”
- “The UK Government has indicated that affected buildings should be remediated by 2030 and has provided funding, through the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, to support freeholders in undertaking such remediation works. This has resulted in a significant increase in notifications and an acceleration of claims. In addition, the collapse of Tri-Fire has led to a number of buildings previously assessed as compliant being subject to recertification.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
