Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Group has needed to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic, changes in how people work, as well as an increasingly challenging global economic, political, and geopolitical environment.”
- “The Group's Risk Management programme was the subject of extensive revision in 2022 and has been the focus of continued investment and development.”
- “There is growing demand for sustainable buildings that meet high environmental standards. Companies are increasingly prioritizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in their real estate decisions, making green buildings a competitive advantage.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
