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

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 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

• “The company had a healthy year battling against the effects of inflation and the results are set out within these financial statements.”
• “The company has continued to deliver high quality projects in multiple sectors including residential, industrial, commercial and infrastructure, with the majority of its work coming from repeat business with its established clients.”
• “The construction industry as a whole has experienced extreme volatility in labour and material prices throughout this year and the previous. A clear focus on the market rates and trends has enabled us to negotiate shorter fixed term contracts in order to limit our risk.”
