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
- “Projects delivered within the period include the careful deconstruction of the fire damaged car park at London Luton Airport, the latest phase of the ongoing redevelopment of the All England Lawn Association, demolition works within the Museum of London and GPE's scheme at Minerva house in Southwark.”
- “The Competition and markets Authority commenced an investigation into the demolition sector into 2019. The CMA found that 10 companies had infringed competition law. In June 2022 the CMA announced that a number of companies had reached a settlement agreement with the CMA, Morrisroe Demolition Limited were one of those businesses. In June 2023, the CMA published its decision in that case.”
- “On 23 March 2023, the CMA accepted an Undertaking from Mr Paul Cluskey. In the Undertaking, Mr Cluskey admitted to satisfying the above conditions for a competition disqualification order. The disqualification period commenced on 1 May 2023. On 3 April 2023, Mr Cluskey applied to the High Court for permission to continue to act as a director of Morrisroe Demolition Limited... the High Court granted Mr Cluskey leave to continue to act as a director, and take part in the management, of Morrisroe Demolition Limited.”
