- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. However, due to FCC's policy of cash sweeping, a letter of support is in place. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events
- “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.”
- “On 10 June 2024, the Company became an indirect subsidiary of FCC Environment (UK) Limited, following the completion of FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente's acquisition of Urbaser's UK operations. This transaction was originally announced in 2023 and has resulted in the Company becoming part of the wider FCC Group.”
- “The Directors consider that the climate agenda has become the climate crisis: public concern for the environment has never been greater, and government focus at all levels — internationally, nationally and locally — has shifted significantly. In particular, the UK has committed to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 (2045 in Scotland), and new laws will be taking shape under the newly elected UK Government, including the Great British Energy Bill.”
