- 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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In June 2025, a flooding occurred during the construction phase of one of the group's projects, resulting in unplanned disruption and damage to equipment on site. The group is working with its insurers, contractors, and technical experts to determine the cause of the incident and assess any associated financial impact. At this stage, the financial effect of the incident cannot be reliably quantified, and no adjustments have been made to these financial statements. The directors do not consider there to be any impact on the group's ability to continue as a going concern.”
