Significant events
- “The financial year ended September 2025 presented a number of external challenges, including the ongoing effects of UK policy changes, the conflict in Ukraine, global supply chain disruption, and broader political uncertainty.”
- “The Group continues to operate in a challenging environment shaped by a range of structural and external factors. The effects of Brexit on skilled labour availability, combined with persistent inflationary pressure on wages, fuel, and materials, have created ongoing cost pressures across the business. Geopolitical instability - particularly the conflict in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East has contributed to further supply chain disruption and wider economic uncertainty.”
