- Affirmed
“The Group's current five year plan was approved by the Board of Directors in November 2024 with this year's approval continuing to take account of the risks and opportunities that could impact the delivery of the plan in relation to external matters including the potential for the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook on both supply chains and levels of demand across a number of markets we operate. This has been caused by a variety of external factors including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza and the impact on wholesale commodity markets, higher inflation than seen for a number of decades and higher interest rates than since the financial crisis in 2008/09. The Directors have concluded that the Group will be able to meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable future and therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group overall have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (being at least one year following the date of signing these financial statements) and, accordingly, consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
