Material uncertainty over going concern
These circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, after considering the mitigating actions available, including completed disposals and ongoing lender engagement, the directors believe it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
