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

Going concern

Affirmed

“I look forward to the year ahead with optimism and energy. These are encouraging signs within the overall construction sector, and I feel the company is well positioned financially and operationally to capitalise on this. I also feel we have the infrastructure and financial backing in place to deliver our targets and goals which are being monitored through robust financial controls and budgeting.”

Significant events

Brandy House Holdings Limited from this date is now the ultimate parent company of the group. Brandy House Holdings is a company under the control of Mr W Whitwell.”
• “On this date, as part of the wider reorganisation process and change in ownership, the company declared dividends of £6,111,746 to its immediate parent company, B&W Plant Group Ltd, to effectively reassign this amount of debt due from PRF Group Ltd, which is included in year end debtors.
