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

- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “Turnover has increased to £17.284M from £17.217M in the previous year. In turn, the gross profit percentage has also increased to 20.70% from 19.86% in the previous year. The company has maintained control over their costs and the increase in sales has meant that the company has generated a increase in gross profit of £159K to £3.578M (2023: £3.420M).”
- “The principal reasons for the increase in turnover are largely due to steel prices reducing from an all time high, so although the purchase price of steel has dropped, the business has been able to maintain a good rate of the sales price that is passed onto customers. Margins have improved due to a stronger focus on design and build, strategic procurement, and enhanced buying efficiencies, along with the use of new technology enabling completion of more complex projects.”
- “The financial position of the company remained strong at the year end, with net current assets increasing by £453K to £2.345M (2023: £1.892M). Although the cash balance decreased by £227K on the previous year to £2.030M (2023: £2.257M), the cashflow remains strong and cost control is maintained. Net assets have increased by £318K to £2.221M (2023: £1.903M).”
