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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company assesses its basis as a going concern primarily by its ability to meet day-to-day financial obligations and its ability to do so for the foreseeable future, supported by monitored budgets, P&L, balance sheet and cashflow forecasts. Directors have reasonable expectation of continued operation.”
Significant events
- “It was a good trading year for the construction industry in the UK, and both turnover and overall profitability increased.”
- “The principle risk of the business is the slow moving building industry and the lack of input from the government into new builds and infrastructure.”
- “The uncertainties is that if there is a downturn into the industry and lack of specialist skilled workers the company could struggle ot provide adequate contractors ot fulfill their projects.”
- “The Company has a zero-tolerance position to any form of modern-day slavery.”
- “Changed some of our fleet cars to all electric, and installed electric points at office for charging”
- “Arranged our delivery system by area”
- “Worked with haulage firms to bulk deliver our stock in regional areas.”
- “Made sure all lights and computers each evening were switched off and not left on standby”
