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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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

• “Turnover increased from £45.3m in 2023 to £58.7m in 2024, an increase of 30%. The Dircetors are pleased to report a healthy order book with over £100m of forward work commitments.”
• “Whitehead operates the core business in a strong economic region and are strategically positioned to be able to offer specialist services to both public and private sectors. During the period we have increased the revenue generated from our end-user work-stream and widened our customer base through our Maintenance and Small Works provision. We are delighted to continue our involvement with the NIIS building for Wales 2 frameworks.”
• “The business has supported a number of local charities through sponsored events including walks, cycling and rowing. Whitehead organises an annual golf day and has raised a substantial amount of money for various local charities. The company is also the lead sponsor and organiser of the Whitehead Tour de Gwent cycling event which raises in excess of £50,000 per annum in aid of local charity St. David's Hospice. The company also encourages its employees to act as volunteers at charitable events. The business has embarked on an initiative to install defibrillators in the local communities in which we work. The business regularly collects supplies and equipment to donate to homeless charities as well other initiatives such as donating easter eggs to a local childrens' hospital. The business contributed a total of £50,148 in CSR and charitable donations during the year.”
• “As part of the Government's aim to reduce the country's carbon impact and drive towards renewable elean energy, we are idcally equipped to support these aims. In recent years we have seen many of our projects benefit from new technologies. We are pleased to have secured a place on the UK Electric Vehicle Charging Framework which we see as an area for growth in the coming years.”
• “As most of the carbon emissions is caused by our vehicle fleet, we have started to convert our fleet to electric cars and vans. This process is ongoing. The business has installed Electric Vehicle charging points at our Ilead Office to encourage employees to use electric vehicles.”
