- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence in the going concern period until 12 months from the date of approval of the Balance Sheet. The company receives financial support from its ultimate parent company Fugro N.V., so the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. This support has been documented in a parent support letter.”
Significant events

- “In November 2024, Fugro Geoservices Limited completed the hive-up merger into Fugro GB Limited. This strategic move aims to enhance our service offerings and operational capabilities.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
