“The financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern, consistent with the prior year, due to the intention to wind up the Company as part of a wider group restructuring.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year, the Company continued to operate under the ownership of the Arcadis Gen Holdings group. As part of a broader strategic restructuring of the group, a decision was made to wind up and liquidate the Company.”
- “In May 2025, the FLAT (Fiscal, Legal, Accounting, and Treasury) team formally approved the recommendation to proceed with the liquidation. As part of this process, a significant intercompany loan payable to Gen Holdings was forgiven. This event materially improved the Company's financial position, enabling a return to a positive net asset position, which is a necessary step prior to the transfer of trade and the formal closure of the Company.”
