Significant events
- “The directors have considered the impact of the ongoing worldwide conflicts, and note that this has had an impact on the company's operations and financial results due to the increase in cost and disruption in the supply of vehicle parts and new vehicle components delaying equipment deliveries. The disruption in supply is considered and we now plan as far ahead as possible in relation to new equipment purchases, whilst also stocking a range of the key components required to keep the existing equipment mobilised.”
