Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors consider the group to be a going concern. However, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern, relating to continued bank support for invoice discounting and loans. Alternative funding would be sought if support is withdrawn.
