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
“The directors have considered its forecasts for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and the uncertainties attached to new contracts being awarded to this entity, the level of debtors at the balance sheet date and the nature of the company's relationship with its parent (the latter being that as a wholly owned subsidiary of the DEME group). The directors are of the opinion that the company is a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The decrease in Sales for 2024 has been attributed to the winding down of the Hinkley Point project that began in 2021.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
