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

Significant events
- “Bridges long-term strategic planning has provided clear direction on our journey to be a national UK water contractor by 2030. We believe this goal will now be achieved 3 years ahead of our plan. Our previous long-term planning took us to 2030. Over the last year we have looked beyond this horizon and have a clear, established and exciting plan in place taking us through to 2035.”
- “Our strategic approach continues to exceed our expectations with Bridges now having frameworks with all the major water and wastewater companies in England & Wales together with a number of the water only companies.”
- “In the Financial Year 2025, we achieved a strong increase in turnover and gross profit compared to 2024. In the previous year, we strategically allocated internal investments towards strengthening our administrative infrastructure and workforce. This deliberate approach ensured we were fit for the future with the results of 2025 demonstrating this strategic investment provided a platform for £10m turnover growth in the year.”
- “Our sustainability roadmap remains on track with a growing fleet of electric vehicles, and we are pleased to have installed and commissioned our solar array of 392 panels at our headquarters 'Engineering House' where in the last year we have generated 134,500 kwh/year will are now able to generate an estimated 165,892kwh/year of electricity resulting in avoiding carbon dioxide emissions of 77,346kg/year.”
