“On the basis of their assessment of the Group's financial position, and based on current Group and company cash flow projections and the Group's new banking facilities, having given consideration to various outcomes of future Group and company performance and forecast capital expenditure, including downside scenarios, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue operating until at least 31 December 2026. Therefore, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis and are of the view that there are no material uncertainties regarding the Group's or company's going concern status.”

Significant events
- “During the year activity levels in our Logistics division were slightly higher than the previous year, primarily due to a marginal increase in demand experienced in the UK logistics sector.”
- “In Construction Services, activity levels were also ahead of the prior year, with several new contract wins in our contracting business coupled with an increase in our waste management business.”
- “In the first six months of the new financial year, activity levels in Logistics are a little down on the prior year due to a reduction in demand in the UK logistics sector.”
- “In Construction Services, both activity levels and operating profit are down on the same period in the prior year.”
- “The Group's banking facilities were due for renewal on 7 July 2025. In advance of this, the directors prepared a five-year business plan for our banking partners, which resulted in the Group's banking facilities being renewed on 30 August 2024 for a further five-year term ending in August 2029.”
- “The two schemes entered into a merger deed in December 2024, with the 1989 Scheme becoming part of the Staff Scheme with effect from 31 December 2024.”
- “The recent High Court judgement decision on 25 July 2024 in respect of the case between Virgin Media v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited, highlights the significance of S37 certificates in relation to defined benefit pension schemes, especially with respect to section 9(2B) rights.”
- “During August 2024, the Group's banking facilities were renewed for a further 5-year period with a new committed revolving credit facility. The bank term loan was repaid in full on 31 July 2024.”
