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 director's 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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The financial year has shown a trading profit before taxation of £1,179k (2023 - £1,808k) which is a decrease from last year of 34.79%. We attribute this in part to one of our major contracts having a material supply issue which was unforeseen. In addition to this we have had a general increase of competition in the market, and inflation which has meant our profit margin was not as high as the previous year, although still within acceptable limits.”
• “We recognise the importance of building the foundations for the next generation of bricklayers and construction professionals to ensure the longevity of our business, and as such we have continued to provide apprenticeships and promote the development and progression of our whole team, both on site and in the office.”
• “We, like many others, have increased our efforts to support and drive environmental changes in our bid to reduce our carbon footprint. This has been done by investing in more electric vehicles and working with suppliers and labour local to contracts to reduce travel.”
