“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Following the UK budget announcement on 31st October 2024, when the government raised the windfall tax to O&G operators and the companies' taxes, we experienced along 2025 a sharp decline on our key industries' activity, operating in significantly lower levels than the previous years.”
- “The Nuclear project Hinkley Point C was on hold during H2 2024 and H1 2025, due to lack of clarity from the labour government energy strategy.”
- “Pharma was the only sector for which investments and MRO levels slightly increased from previous year, corresponding to 11% of our turnover.”
