- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed the Company's cash flow and operating forecasts and have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (for the period ending 31 December 2026). In addition, under the terms of the Group's banking arrangement, security over the Company's assets has been granted to the Group's bankers so the Directors of Renew Holdings plc have provided a letter of support to the Company stating that Renew Holdings plc will provide support for the Company should it be required to enable it to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due until 31 December 2026.”
Significant events
- “The Company continues to be committed to the health, safety and welfare of its employees, a commitment that has been recognised in 2025 by a fifteenth consecutive Gold RoSPA, resulting in an Order of Distinction.”

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
