“The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts to 31 December 2025 and have considered a further period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, which indicate that the Company has sufficient resources available to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to continue to trade. Accordingly, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events

- “A notable accomplishment during 2024 was securing a multi-year appointment on the new hospital project at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn.”
