Adding, the Group has sufficient cash and liquidity to continue operations and meet its obligations to June 2024. 

“This strong performance was due in part to strong governance over the years that saw the business being selective with its contracts, delivery of high-quality projects and managing risk underpinned by strong commercial management,” said the Group. 

Adding: “Despite the inflationary pressures expected to continue into the 2024 financial year, we will continue to mitigate the risk through selective bidding and supply chain management.”
