Significant events
- “One of the Group's projects reached expiry in February 2025, with the SPV retaining ownership of the building's headlease. The public sector counterparty had previously indicated a desire to acquire the building's headlease prior to the end of the concession. In response, the Board resolved in July 2024 to sell the headlease at market value, enabling the Group to realise proceeds ahead of schedule and thus increasing shareholder returns.”
- “For one of the projects in the group a calculation error was discovered during 2022 in respect of the re-basing of the pricing which was incorporated in a prior contract variation which would have resulted in the income to the subsidiary significantly reducing from the originally contracted position from September 2023 The subsidiary commenced Arbitration proceedings for rectification of the error in 2024 The Arbitration was in process at the balance sheet date Following this date, The Secretary of State for Defence and the subsidiary have concluded arrangements for an early exit of the PFI contract for the Joint Services Command and Staff College as at 31 July 2025 and the subsidiary ceased trading on that date These events have resulted in the reversal of the onerous contract, and an impairment to the final carrying value of the subsidiary's finance debtor”

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
