“Despite these challenges the Board believes that, whilst some uncertainty exists, this does not pose a material risk that would cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “In February 2023, the main contractor of the Basford East (Phase 1 & 2) and Helsby development schemes went into administration. This resulted in significant financial uncertainty and time delays which triggered an impairment review. Following the review an impairment was recognised in FY22/23 across both schemes. A procurement exercise was carried out to secure replacement main contractors for each site. The Helsby scheme was back on-site in June 2024 and works also commenced on the Basford site in December 2024. Both schemes are now progressing as planned. Both sites have been reassessed for potential impairment based on the new contracts and no further impairment has been identified.”

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
