“Following the resolution of the legal case in 2020 with Essex County Council, the directors no longer consider UBB Waste (Essex) Limited to be a going concern. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a break up basis. The Basildon MBT facility will no longer be operational and is expected to be fully demolished during 2026.”
Significant events
- “On 31 May 2012, Financial Close was reached for the Essex contract. Construction commenced in winter 2014 and the Readiness Test Certificate was obtained on 25 November 2015 and started Hot Testing and Commissioning. The facility had significant design flaws and did not perform as expected, leading to a legal dispute with Essex County Council (the Council).”
- “On 10th June 2024 the Company and the whole of the Urbaser UK Group was sold to FCC Environment (UK) Limited. The sale has not impacted the entity's financial performance. The ultimate parent company is further expanded on in note 9 of these financial statements.”
