- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Subsidiaries
- Waste Recycling Group (Yorkshire) Limited · 100% held · England and Wales · handling, recycling, and disposal of waste materials
Significant events
- “In September 2025 the Group's ultimate parent, FCC Medio Ambiente Holding, S.A., agreed terms to acquire Cumbria Waste Group Limited (CWG), with completion expected in Q4 2025.”
- “The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as heightened conflicts in the Middle East, continue to contribute to elevated levels of political instability and uncertainty worldwide. Fuel prices (gas, electricity and oil derived products) have fallen back from the particularly high levels seen in 2022, though they remain higher than pre-conflict levels. Inflation has almost returned to the lower levels seen in recent years, but some inflationary pressures still remain due to the uncertainties mentioned above.”
