Material uncertainty over going concern
As stated within note 1.2, these events or conditions, along with other matters are set forth in note 1.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The Company has failed to have an effective Parent Company Guarantee ("PCG") in place as a result of the liquidation of Interserve Group Limited which has led to the combined Construction and Facilities Management ("FM") Contract becoming terminable as well as triggering technical defaults in the Loan Facilities Agreement.

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

Significant events
- “An event of default ("EoD") occurred during the year resulting in senior debt facilities being classified as current. With effect from 5 October 2023, the Company does not have an effective Parent Company Guarantee in place due to the liquidation of Interserve Group Limited ("IGL"). This has led to technical default in the Loan Facilities Agreement which means that the lender could recall the senior debt from the Company on demand.”
- “An EoD was triggered when Interserve PLC went into administration on 15 March 2019 as it was parent company guarantor for Interserve (Facilities Management) Ltd and Interserve Construction Limited. Waivers were signed in 2020 accepting the PCG of Interserve Group Limited meaning the Company was no longer in default. On 5 October 2023 Interserve Group Limited ("IGL") appointed liquidators under a Creditors Voluntary Liquidation. IGL is a Major Project Party as it provides a PCG for Tilbury Douglas Construction Limited ("TDCL") in relation to the comb ned Construction and FM Contract between the Company and TDCL. Therefore, as a result of IGL's liquidation, the combined Construction and FM Contracts have become terminable. This insolvency event has also triggered a technical default in the Loan Facility Agreement of the Company.”
