- Affirmed
“The Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements. This conclusion was reached following the review of the 2024 and 2025 financial forecasts. OMD EMEA Limited has a broad portfolio of large global clients operating across different geographies and industries, and as demand for our services adjusts we continue to manage our cost base accordingly.”
Significant events
- “Given the lasting effects of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and the uncertain international landscape the directors have been acutely aware of the need to engage with all relevant stakeholders. OMD EMEA has responded to changing client needs following the economic headwinds caused by inflation and the ongoing cost of living crisis.”
