- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We have performed reverse stress tests on the forecasts to consider the potential impact on the Company's financial results of weaker market conditions and of delays in recovery of receivables which is considered to be consistent with the scenario that could occur should a customer have financial difficulties. These scenarios, along with consideration of the mitigating actions that could be taken should they arise, led the directors to consider there to be a remote likelihood of the company not remaining a going concern for the forecast period.”
Significant events
- “In March 2026 Mott MacDonald Bentley Limited has been awarded a place on the Enterprise Agreement for Scottish Water's new delivery framework covering SR27 with extension for SR33.”
