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

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors continue to identify risks in relation to the current economic environment. However, with inflation now under control, interest rates continuing to fall, and the new government now being in power for a year, the Directors believe that the future remains very positive. This belief is substantiated by the excellent performance and also the current workload and medium term forecasts. The directors appreciate the need for the company to remain in a strong financial position and the current opportunities will ensure that the company continues to grow both its revenues and profits. The directors believe that any ongoing economic challenges will have no major impact on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “Turnover increased by 69.3% in the year, this was due to several factors. Overall it was a much better year for the construction industry whilst the UK was still suffering from the effects of high inflation but despite these issues we increased our sales and returned a very healthy profit.”
• “The directors recognise that, even though interest rates are reducing, that it is in the best interest of the company to concentrate on debt reduction within the medium term whilst maintaining and improving profitability.”
