- 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 Group's or the Parent 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
- “A challenging operational environment is still evident. The second half of the trading year saw a marked increase in the time taken for proposed projects to start. Labour supply shortages and high wage inflation persist, and look set to continue. Corporate insolvencies and consequential bad debts have reduced significantly from recent historical highs, but the directors continue to focus on risk mitigation at all contract stages from acceptance to completion.”
- “In the year under review, Maintenance revenues decreased by 6% and revenue from pure new build or refurbished buildings work undertaken by the Projects division decreased by 14%. The Maintenance decrease can be attributed to an internal change to the criteria used to allocate Additional Works between Projects and Maintenance divisions. The recognition and quoting of Additional Works following Planned Preventive Maintenance visits has also been highlighted as a key area to improve and steps are being taken to progress this. Labour supply shortages, as highlighted above, also affected the Company's ability to carry out these works.”
- “During the year under review the South West & Wales Regional Office's revenues decreased by 38%. This led to the disbanding of the operation in the region pending a review of the Company's regional strategy whilst fulfilling the region's current commitments from the Company's base in the South East.”
