“The Board has reviewed detailed 12-month cashflow forecasts, supported by sensitivity analysis, and is confident of the business's ability to continue to a going concern until at least 31 October 2026. At the year end, the business held an order book of £120m of secured work, supported by tenders awaiting results totalling £157m, with a further £84m of tenders in progress. This strong pipeline provides assurance of future revenue streams. Access to a working capital facility provides additional security, ensuring that any unlikely short-term pressures can be absorbed without compromising delivery.”
