- 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 company's transformation into a data driven business, with THI's support and investment, is continuing following the go live of the second phase of group wide ERP system in March 2024.”
- “This period we launched inclusive talent acquisition initiatives, such as the Forces Covenant Agreement and Disability Confident Employer. We strengthened ties with educational institutions and continued leadership development to ensure a sustainable high performing team for the future.”
- “Our 'Safer Together' Strategy, launched in 2025, strives to achieve zero accidents by creating an environment where every employee is empowered to take ownership of their health and safety and that of those around them.”
