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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Warden's board of directors are proud to report a great year of business in 2024. This is also a milestone year for the company as we have celebrated our 70th year of trading.”
- “In 2024, our revenue has performed exceptionally, increasing by 29% on the previous year from £20.7million in 2023, to £26.7 million in 2024, being our highest Turnover figure in the last ten years.”
- “The economic climate has continued to be challenging in 2024. The impact of an economy that has suffered from high inflation and high interest rates throughout the 2024 financial year has made some projects become unviable due to cost and financing factors.”
- “In 2024, we significantly strengthened our ability to deliver across multiple sectors of the construction industry, including Youth & Community Buildings, Education, Healthcare, and Fire Remediation projects.”
- “Our healthcare portfolio continues to grow, highlighted by the successful completion of a £4.4 million new theatre scheme at NHS Whiston Hospital, along with the commencement of new Endoscopy and CT facilities at the same trust.”
- “Additionally, we completed two Fire Remediation projects, one of which achieved the landmark EWS1 certification, further demonstrating our commitment to safety and quality in the sector.”
- “The company has also sought to simplify its Group structure during the year closing the legacy holding company Warden Holdings Limited leaving Warden Construction Group Limited as the top company within the group.”
