- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In June 2023, the High Court handed down a judgement in the Virgin Media vs NTL Pension Trustees case which could have widespread implications for the validity of historic rule amendments made to contracted-out pension schemes. A subsequent appeal against this judgement was rejected by the High Court in July 2024.”
- “CPUK are seeking to improve measures for 2026, with energy and water saving dishwashers having been installed in February 2026.”
