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

- Audit opinion
- 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
- “The company continues its diversification strategy in 2025 making it more resilient by increasing its turnover in the infrastructure sector.”
- “In the financial year the company has reported controlled growth in turnover, increasing from £130m to £150m.”
- “The company invested over £4m in new plant and equipment in 2025 as it continues to recognise the efficiencies it derives from having its own plant resource.”
- “The company continues to support clients in the Cambridge and Oxford areas, has recently opened a regional office in the Bristol and South Wales region to support ongoing projects in that area and has also won other schemes on the south coast.”
- “The 34% increase in net assets to £39.7m, 9% increase in cash to £34.5m and zero bank debt places the business in a strong position to support this strategy going forward.”
