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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Trading position for 2024/25 was much improved as the business turnover and profitability returned to pre pandemic levels.”
• “Turnover across the year surpassed the previous year which itself was above normal trading levels”
• “Our move away from working with other mechanical contractors has been the right decision to reduce risk and difficulty within the business structure and as a result gross profit and cash flow continue to improve.”
• “The company has also further concentrated on expanding niche services for water hygiene, LEV extraction and strengthening our smaller electrical maintenance and small works department.”
• “We continued our investment within R & D over the last few years, particularly in the LEV and specialists markets as well as developing bespoke IT systems to increase productivity.”
• “The working capital position of the business has continued to be at acceptable levels along with a reduction in debtor days and suppliers continuing to be paid on time.”
